About this title

Synopsis

Now completely revised and expanded, Systems and Models includes chapters on the major systems and models for developing programs for the gifted, including the Autonomous Learner Model, the Integrative Education Model, the Multiple Menu Model, the Purdue Three-stage Model, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, and Levels of Service. Forty-two experts (Baum, Benbow, Clark, Kolloff, Meeker, Reis, Rimm, Sternberg, Tomlinson, et al.) in gifted education contributed to 25 chapters. Each chapter includes a comprehensive, yet concise discussion of the model, theoretical underpinnings, research on effectiveness, and considerations for implementations. Discussion questions follow each chapter. This resource is a must-have for educational-psychology courses and for school boards considering different models.
