Gifted Children: Myths and Realities Paperback - 1997

by Ellen Winner

Professor of psychology Dr. Ellen Winner examines the latest scientific evidence about the biological basis of giftedness as well as the role played by parents and schools in fostering exceptional abilities. Winner castigates schools for wasting resources on weak educational programs for the moderately gifted. Instead she advocates elevating standards for all, while strengthening programs for the extremely gifted. Photos.
