The text and its authors work from the assumption that the most advanced learners need a qualitatively different design of learning experiences in order to develop their potential into outstanding achievement, answering the question, "How should we design learning experiences for our most advanced academic students in the foundational curriculum areas?" This book provides the most contemporary thinking about how to design in-depth courses of study in the foundational curriculum areas with a high degree of complexity and advanced content. The book includes chapters articulating specific design components like creative thinking, critical thinking, and authentic research, but also subject-specific chapters in mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies to demonstrate application of those design components.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>As informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking, "Modern Curriculum for Gifted and Advanced Academic Students" should be considered essential reading for anyone developing a gifted and talented school curriculum for public or private school systems.
