This book helps teachers plan a challenging programme for students, particularly gifted students, within a regular education classroom. It addresses brain-compatible learning, which makes it appropriate for a much wider group of students than just the very brightest. Approaches and strategies are explained in a unique and personal style and include the following: use of inter-disciplinary themes, analytical thinking exercises, teaching moral dilemmas, Socratic questioning techniques, increasing depth and complexity through interactive games, activities to promote creative thinking, using graphic organizers, and teaching research skills and methods. The author demonstrates how all these strategies and approaches work together to help teachers create a more meaningful learning experience for all students. An added benefit of the author's training, as reflected in this book, is to help put the creativity and search for knowledge back into the learning process.

It will be a must-read for every educator looking to increase the rigor of his or her learning expectations." -- Kathy Tritz-Rhodes, Principal "This is an instant gratification, pick-up-and-use-immediately, teacher-friendly book. I got so excited about the strategies that I immediately began to use some of them in my classroom." -- Mary Beth Cary, Teacher of the Gifted "John's wealth of knowledge and humor make his trainings exciting.
