Gifted programs should be as innovative, unique, and ever-evolving as the students they serve. This comprehensive handbook provides the expert guidance and tools necessary for shaping a contemporary, inclusive talent development program tailored to studentsÕ individual needs and strengths. Rather than imposing a Òone-size-fits-allÓ model, this guide offers a flexible six-stage framework for planning, implementing, evaluating, and enhancing gifted education programs. The authors draw upon current theory, research, and more than 20 years of professional experience with schools, districts, and state education agencies to provide proven approaches for designing new programs and reinvigorating existing ones.
