Reviews"Teachers will be fascinated with this text and take away a range of activities, strategies, assessment tools, and ideas for differentiating for their gifted students. It is also an essential text for university courses in teaching curriculum for gifted students."--Dr. Gillian Eriksson, professor of gifted education, University of Central Florida, " Differentiation for Gifted Learners is an excellent resource . . . Filled with practical definitions and explanations, the book offers a straightforward understanding of what it means to be gifted and talented and the components to a strong gifted program."--Susie Strasser, high school English teacher, "At last, a comprehensive, up-to-date book that explicitly describes how to differentiate for gifted and talented learners. The heart of the book comes from Heacox and Cash's step-by-step description of how to differentiate the content, process, or product of a lesson in order to meet the needs of the gifted and talented learners. The authors include a variety of instructional strategies that educators can use immediately with their identified students. If educators are looking for practical information on the topic of differentiation for gifted and talented students, look no further."--Patti Drapeau, consultant in gifted education at the Maine Department of Education and adjunct faculty at the University of Southern Maine, "Considering gifted students with learning disabilities to those from diverse backgrounds, authors Diane Heacox and Richard M. Cash address the unique educational experiences of all types of gifted and talented learners . . . The practical suggestions are realistic for classroom teachers to implement and the straightforward tone of the book makes it easy to read and understand."-- Gifted Child Today, "Richard and Diane have hit a home run with this book! It provides exactly what teachers, coaches, gifted specialists, coordinators, and administrators need to help high-ability students develop a growth mindset, reverse underachievement, develop autonomy, and direct their own learning."--Lora McHugh, Gifted and Talented Education Program Coordinator, Clark County School District, "Heacox and Cash clearly understand the landscape of schools and what is needed to make programming work. The many user-friendly lists and suggestions for . . . classroom strategies make this book an excellent reference for daily use."--Felicia A. Dixon, Ph.D., author of The Handbook of Secondary Gifted Education and Programs and Services for Gifted Secondary Students, " Differentiation for Gifted Learners: Beyond the Basics takes the reader on a journey that is both conceptual and practical at the same time. It offers direction and sophisticated solutions for issues faced by advanced and progressive schools."--Antarina S.F. Amir, Founder & CEO of HighScope Indonesia Institute, " Differentiation for Gifted Learners is the right book at the right time. Finally a book with specific teaching methods that can be used to tailor lessons to meet the unique needs of gifted learners!"--Wendy A. Behrens, coauthor of Exploring Critical Issues in Gifted Education: A Case Studies Approach, "Heacox and Cash have each made significant contributions to the field of gifted education. Together, they more than double their impact in this thoughtful, easy-to-read book. They use current research to address timely issues like differentiating the Common Core State Standards for high ability students, co-teaching as a collaborative effort, and focusing on assessment as a critical element of the instructional process. They tackle topics not previously discussed like working with immigrant students and designing challenging honors courses for secondary students. This book is full of practical suggestions for classroom teachers, gifted education specialists, and principals. It is a must-have for those eager to go 'Beyond the Basics.'"--Chrystyna V. Mursky, director of professional learning at Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and educational consultant at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, "Heacox and Cash have each made significant contributions to the field of gifted education.
