Overview
The purpose of this book is to enable teachers to develop explicit criteria for identifying and helping able pupils. After discussing the nature of ability and talent and identifying the able child, Diane Montgomery examines curriculum provision, paying particular attention to the National Curriculum and surveying different types of provision: acceleration, enrichment and differentiation. She then describes methods of teaching for critical thinking. The book ends with a chapter on helping the underfunctioning able child. Throughout, there are numerous examples and practical suggestions. Teachers in primary and secondary schools as well as in higher education will find this book invaluable both as an introduction to the area and as a source of ideas.Book Details
