"Navan's insightful description and analysis of giftedness provides those of us who teach, mentor, and parent girls and young women with a road map to recognize and support their achievement and development. The stories, which describe girls and young women from a variety of backgrounds, are a pleasure to read."

Discover research-based approaches that support the academic and personal development of gifted female students!

Research shows that gifted girls, in general, are underserved and their talents underidentified. This insightful resource helps educators discover and strengthen gifted female students' potential and promote their healthy intellectual, psychological, and emotional growth.

Each chapter examines a different aspect of female development, provides a reflective exercise for applying the material to professional practice, and presents helpful strategies for teachers, counselors, and parents. The book covers

Psychological and emotional characteristics of giftedness
Cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors affecting gifted girls' development
Issues of resilience, self-efficacy, self-agency, and personal ethics
The importance of supportive teacher interventions and parent advocacy

This vital guide also includes appendices of mentoring programs, curriculum enhancers, Web resources, and research on the importance of fostering female gifted education, giving voice to gifted females and their unique developmental needs.

Industry Reviews

"A nice addition to the literature on gifted youth. It cites a growing concern over the disengagement of young gifted girls and offers realistic strategies to support and nurture them throughout their educational career." -- Richard M. Cash, Director of Gifted and Talented Programs "The examples through stories are a major strength. I hope this book inspires teachers to see the giftedness in all children, nurture their voices, and help them develop to their fullest potential." -- Rosemary Traore, Assistant Professor "Navan's insightful description and analysis of giftedness provides those of us who teach, mentor, and parent girls and young women with a road map to recognize and support their achievement and development.
