Three Invaluable Resources

The NSWAGTC's guides for parents and teachers

Gifted Children: The challenge continues

and

Gifted Children Need Help

The Association's new guide for parents and teachers, Gifted children: The challenge continues, complements and extends its first anthology by bringing together an impressive range of recent articles and conference papers. The demand for such information rich resources has proved very strong with the first guide Gifted children need help? selling out before being reprinted in late 1995.

Gifted Children: The challenge continues provides important new material on identification, including the need for doing so in early childhood, on acceleration, on the policies and programs of the various school systems, and on aspects of parenting gifted children.

It extends into fields not covered in the first guide by considering gifted children's affective needs, and the plight of the gifted learning disabled and the geographically isolated. Curriculum differentiation, and a range of specific programs are also addressed. Only the NSW Government and Department of School Education policy papers are common to the two anthologies.

The two anthologies complement each other, for example with a resources and references list in the first replaced by contributions from gifted children in the new guide.

The video package for teachers and schools

Practising classroom teachers help you consider the aspects that are involved. Strategies covered in the twenty-nine minute VHS video (PAL format) and accompanying booklet include:
