- Recognizing Giftedness in Young Children
- This article is based upon a comparative study of the developmental characteristics of gifted and average children (Rogers, 1986). Contrary to the belief that all parents think their children are gifted, this study indicated that the parents of average children do see their children’s development differently from parents of gifted children. In addition, the parents of the gifted tended to underestimate their children’s abilities rather than overestimate them.

- Gifted Education Professional Development Package
- The modules contain an overview of current research about particular areas of gifted education. This research, in plain language, is illustrated by cartoons, case studies and examples of how it can be applied in the mainstream classroom. The modules cover all levels of schooling: early childhood (the initial years of schooling), Primary (later years of primary schools), and secondary (secondary school). The modules are also ordered according to whether a teacher is in a rural or urban school, teaching in the classroom or involved in school administration, or whether the teacher is working alone or undertaking professional development in a small group or whole school situation.
- Educational Options
- Educational Options is about meeting the social, emotional, and academic needs of the intellectually gifted. It is about "thinking outside the box," for people who do not fit the norms. It is about families, children, adolescents, and adults, searching, because something is not right ... and it is the emotions, not the school or job performance, that isn't right. Although Educational Options is centered in Minnesota and especially serves the needs of gifted children in Minnesota, it is possible to arrange for assessments and consultations from anywhere in the country.
