This user-friendly text offers a comprehensive overview at the interface between bilingual/multicultural/ESL education and gifted education.
Reaching New Horizons is the first book of its kind. Written by nationally recognized and award-winning leaders in both gifted and bilingual education, the authors have collaborated to create a text that bridges research and practice and has far-reaching implications for educators at all levels as culturally and linguistically diverse students continue to impact public education. The text includes chapters on program delivery models (Ch. 6), bilingualism (Ch. 3), and identification and assessment (Ch. 5)—all topics that have come into the forefront of issues faced by bilingual and gifted education teachers of grades K-12.
- Edited chapters draw on the expertise of bilingual and gifted education teachers from every region of the United States.
- Unique to this text, the topic of gifted and talented ESOL students is explored by examining different variables — the evolution of second language education, the best practices in teaching gifted children, and the specific problem that language and ethnic minority students encountered when tested for entry into gifted programs (Ch. 8).
- Successful strategies and processes that have been used within the framework of "inclusionary" methodology for gifted culturally and linguistically diverse students have been included to show that exclusionary practices for this population should not be used (Ch. 5).
- State policy issues, policy recommendations, and implications for the lack of policy for gifted and talented linguistically diverse populations are included in Chapter 14.
- Bibliographies at the end of each chapter provide readers with additional references specific to the chapter content.
Each Chapter ends with a "Summary" Section.
