Teaching Able, Gifted and Talented Children (ePub)

Clive Tunnicliffe offers a vision of provision for able, gifted and talented (AG&T) learners within the context of Every Child Matters (ECM) legislation and the drive to achieve personalised learning. Providing a clear and concise summary of an increasingly important area of educational provision, this book offers the right balance of theory and practical strategies.

There is advice on:
- developing a whole school policy for AG&T provision
- defining and identifying AG&T learners
- strategies to use in the classroom
- developing critical and creative thinking
- out-of-school enrichment activities
- supporting AG&T learners
- working with parents

Each chapter contains a summary of key points, case studies of good practice, great ideas to use with students and Professional Development Activities for staff.

This book is short enough to be a quick read, but there is much to whet your appetite for finding out more about this fascinating area of teaching and learning. It is a useful and interesting resource for busy managers, project leaders, classroom practitioners and learning support staff across the primary and secondary age range.
