Understanding and working with gifted learners: 'They're not bringing my brain out' (Book Review)

Two questions that often plague teachers are ‘How can I identify gifted students?’ and ‘How can I best teach gifted students?’ Rosemary Cathcart addresses each of these questions in her book, Understanding and working with gifted learners. “They’re not bringing my brain out”. Cathcart has worked in gifted education since the early 1980s, and in 2005 established Responding to Exceptional Ability in Children (REACH) Education, a specialist education consultancy that offers professional learning for teachers. Understanding and working with gifted learners. “They’re not bringing my brain out” aims to provide anyone an insight into the gifted individual, and presents some practical strategies to identify and respond to the gifted learner.
