Reflections on Gifted Education

Along with virtually everyone else in gifted education I've known about Joe Renzulli's work since I took my first steps into the field. I've held his work in high regard, often seeing it as a beacon of light on the educational horizon clarifying our direction as we make our way through difficult terrain under dark clouds of dogmatism and superficial school reform. This book enabled me to step closer to that beacon so I can see what makes it shine so brightly.,Don Ambrose,Roeper Review, 2/15/16
Addressing many important aspects of gifted education, this book would be a valuable resource for teachers, curriculum directors, and others who are responsible for ensuring that the needs of bright children are effectively addressed in the educational setting. In addition to taking a close look at past research in light of significant topics, Renzulli discusses the importance of an ever-changing world of education, and suggests ways that educators and scholars may go about introducing new ideas into the field of gifted and talented education.,Gifted Child Today, 1/10/17
In addition to a robust sampling of Renzulli's ideas and research, the text also provides practical strategies for practitioners, an approach which is a hallmark of Renzulli's work. Rather than a straightforward reprint of previous works, this text features updates and adaptations as well as editorial changes to standardize the entries.,Jennifer L.
