Systems and Models for Developing Programs for the Gifted and Talented

• Used Book in Good Condition

Now completely revised and expanded, <i>Systems and Models </i> includes chapters on the major systems and models for developing programs for the gifted, including the Autonomous Learner Model, the Integrative Education Model, the Multiple Menu Model, the Purdue Three-stage Model, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, and Levels of Service. Forty-two experts (Baum, Benbow, Clark, Kolloff, Meeker, Reis, Rimm, Sternberg, Tomlinson, et al.) in gifted education contributed to 25 chapters. Each chapter includes a comprehensive, yet concise discussion of the model, theoretical underpinnings, research on effectiveness, and considerations for implementations. Discussion questions follow each chapter. This resource is a must-have for educational-psychology courses and for school boards considering different models.
