How the Gifted Brain Learns

I have a gifted son who is also underachieving in school. His teacher wanted tools / better understanding of how to teach him & get him motivated again (our years vary with each teacher). This book gives excellent examples of how gifted kids are (to help her understand him) as well as several suggestions for the classroom. I've made many of the suggestions in the books, but I think it's also good for them to see it from another source that isn't a parent.This addresses behaviors of underachievement and can give the teacher information that he really is acting 'normal' for the type of learner he is, and offers suggestions and strategies to try to engage the children again.It also addresses concerns with misdiagnosis & dual diagnoses so they can see overlapping characteristics that are gifted, but may also lead schools to feel there is another problem. There are strategies in there for teaching the twice exceptional student as well.It is an easy book to ready and understand and hopefully will work well as a springboard to help my son's teacher and I communicate better and create a better school year.

If you are involved with gifted education, this must be part of your professional library. I will be reveiwing it soon on my blog at: <...>. There are numerous sections that have pages on application of the concepts in the classroom. I will be sharing some of these ideas in my parent newsletter.

USED, BUT LIKE NEW. IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE

Required reading for a class...what can you say? Helped with my assignments. Wouldn't order to read for fun on the beach.

This is a great book. Educators should read this one and the rest of the series. More learning about the brain can help us forward education.

The materials were in excellent condition. I would use this vendor again with complete confidence

Useful information on how to approach difficult learning problems. Good summary of current research in the area. Some useful tips.
