Summary
This fresh and provocative volume contains essays by leading thinkers on gifted education and by writers outside the field who have examined it critically. Each author examines, reconsiders, and challenges the assumptions and beliefs underlying the theory and practice of gifted education - providing a "roadmap" to guide both current considerations of and future planning for gifted education programs.
