Being Smart about Gifted Education: A Guidebook for Educators and Parents (2nd Edition)

Written for both parents and educators, Drs. Dona Matthews and Joanne Foster present practical strategies to identify and nurture exceptionally high ability in children. These authors promote the “mastery” (rather than the “mystery”) model of gifted education and challenge several common practices and assumptions.
