Some Special And Constricting Idea

Excellent resource

Planning and Implementing Programs for the Gifted by James Borland is a remarkable text in that it speaks clearly to both the novice graduate student and the teacher or administrator in practice. The book is an excellent resource for schools that are reconsidering their gifted programs in light of issues of equity and excellence. It provides compelling arguements for the provision of services based on need. This is a 'must have' book for every school looking to serve the needs of talented students, and looking for direction in implementing those programs.
