Recenzje

This revised edition of Methods & Materials for Teaching the Gifted accomplishes one of the most challenging feats in education: bridging theory and practice in a way that is accessible to the newest of gifted education practitioners without glossing over the complexities of the most up to date research in the field. Each of the 21 chapters is full of straightforward, practical application of research and honest discussions of the disagreements within the field over how each might be applied.,Celeste D. C.
