A Teacher’s Guide to Supporting Gifted Middle School Students provides insight to help you gain a better understanding of your gifted students during a pivotal time in their development.

Employing pop culture, personal stories, and prompts for reflection, this text considers major factors impacting gifted middle school students including self-image, the need for differentiated content, the importance of slowing down, the value of mentors, and ways to instill hope during this — more often than not — difficult time. Full of practical examples for how you can work to address both the academic and social-emotional needs of your students, this book champions middle school as an important time for self-discovery and developing passions.

Engaging and informative, this inspiring new book is a “must read” for all teachers seeking to positively influence their students during this unique and critical time in their lives.
