A professional, approachable guide for teachers
This handy guide uses 12 fictional children to illustrate common characteristics of giftedness and provides some useful strategies to begin to meet their needs in your classroom. The guide comes in packs of 10, so you can get copies for your staff to use in conjunction with the workshop that accompanies the material. There is a complimentary facilitator’s guide included, or you may hire me to run the workshop! (See the professional services page for details.)

"It puts into words and images the multiple ways in which young persons can show their gifts, thereby providing illumination to teachers, parents, and (as appropriate) to the young person her/himself."
– Howard Gardner, Harvard Graduate School of Education
"I've enjoyed using [this] book with graduate students in my course entitled Nature and Needs of the Gifted. It's a great introduction to the characteristics, traits, and behaviors of GT students. I've found that they enjoy the vivid descriptions of the 12 profiles. They can easily connect these to children they've worked with. It's also a great supplement to the material I cover on special populations."
– Thomas P. Hébert, University of South Carolina
"It is very exciting... and it looks like a very helpful guide to introduce teachers to a broad array of gifted and talented students."
– Sally M. Reis, University of Connecticut
