Identification and Evaluation of Gifted Students: A Practical Guide

How many educational institutions assess the competence and potential of their students to personalize their education? How many regularly identify and analyze their most capable students? Is the future of society harmed when the development of talent is neglected? The literature on giftedness and talent development is abundant, but it is not always easy to ensure that the fundamental ideas of this field of study reach schools, counselors, legislators, or indeed, families. This is a book about the most overlooked diversity in the entire educational system: students with high abilities, high performance, and high potential. Professor Pfeiffer presents various perspectives and conceptions, contrasts them, and either accepts or discusses them, providing an enormous amount of bibliography. With great brilliance and clarity, this book serves as an excellent manual for students, teachers, counselors, and parents, contributing to improved understanding of these topics and dispelling some harmful and unjust myths that still persist about the most capable students and their educational needs.
