Bright Children, Outstanding Students – A Manual for Parents and Teachers on High Intellectual and Creative Potential Students

One of the goals of education for the 21st century is “education in diversity,” which involves recognizing the differences within student groups and respecting them through teaching practices that align with those differences. Within these heterogeneous classrooms, there are students with high intellectual abilities: they learn easily, retain information well, are curious, display a higher level of reasoning than expected for their age, solve problems creatively, and possess a strong motivation for learning.

n this book, the authors—leading Argentine experts in the development of intelligence in talented children—share twenty-five years of educational experience with intellectually gifted students. They provide a synthesis of the main theories on intellectual giftedness and offer a description of these students’ intellectual and socio-emotional characteristics, aiming to understand how they learn, their special educational needs, and how to provide them with an appropriate educational response.
