Editorial Reviews

Expertly organized and accessibly presented, "Achieving Equity in Gifted Programming: Dismantling Barriers and Tapping Potential" is an ideal instructional guide that would well serve as a curriculum textbook for school district in-service training programs, and is an essential, core addition to both college and university library Teacher Education collections.

Achieving Equity in Gifted Programming would be a valuable read for those who want to take on the intimidating but essential task of working toward equity in gifted programs. ,Sarah E. Pennington,MiddleWeb, 10/15/20
This book would serve as a great resource for professional development on educational equity with teachers and administrators, even in the least diverse of districts. Using these strategies, schools can move forward providing students with rigorous educational opportunities, ensuring that all students, even those who were previously overlooked, are challenged.,Reanna Fulton,Gifted Education Review, 3/1/21
