Giftedness in the Early Years: Informing, Learning and Teaching

This book is about changing perceptions—helping parents, early years teachers, and other key individuals to understand giftedness, and providing them with resources to help in identification and assessment for learning. The main audience is teachers in the early years, but the content will also be informative and helpful to parents, managers, principals, policy makers and researchers. The book draws on a range of overseas and New Zealand research evidence and literature, shares teaching and research experience, and suggests practical resources that have been found helpful for the early years educational context.
