Abstract
Excerpt from publication: "The format for this book is very simple and we wanted to make it as user-friendly as possible. For too long in the field of gifted education there has been an assumption that high ability students are a homogeneous group. Hopefully this guide will help to dispel this myth once and for all and we can celebrate the different types of gifted students, the different strategies that can help them and we can embrace the heterogeneity of the group.
Each section of the book will cover advice for students, parents, teachers and policy makers. To emphasise the diversity of this group there will be separate sections on twice exceptional students, disadvantaged students and LGBTQ students...
As well as proving helpful for parents, students and teachers, we really hope this book can have an influence on policy makers. Gifted education is often left out of conversations about students with special needs and many policy makers seem to rely on long since disproved myths that these students will all thrive without any intervention. The model that one size fits all for gifted students is long outdated and hopefully this guide will help people to understand the diversity and heterogeneity in the group."
