Counseling Gifted Students

Publisher: Springer Publishing Company
ISBN: 0826136559
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
"Drs. Susannah Wood and Jean Peterson have combined forces to move the field of school counseling forward in its work on behalf of gifted students… This subtle regularizing into appropriate school counseling practice is actually quite radical as is makes it clear that the time has passed to consider whether we should be concerned with the nature and needs of students with gifts and talents, but rather need to move to serving them as a requirement of our profession... And fortunately for all of us, the authors provide a clearly articulated roadmap for helping us live up to our professional responsibilities." --Tracy L. Cross, Ph.D. Created to fill a gap in both counselor education and gifted education, this is the only up-to-date text to provide a concise and practical overview of counseling services designed specifically for gifted and talented students. Grounded in the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model for counseling programs, the book illuminates specific knowledge, awareness, and skills school counselors need to address concerns related not only to academics, but also to social and emotional development of this population. The text delivers a theoretical and practical overview of gifted and talented education in the United States and the responsibilities of school counselors as they pertain to this unique population. Going well beyond the common call to provide academic challenge, the book considers special characteristics of gifted and talented students as it examines the complexities of career development, college readiness, and concerns related to social and emotional development. It discusses how counselors can advocate for gifted students, lead efforts to match programming and needs, and collaborate with school staff and families. Vignettes depicting critical incidents and epitomizing needs are used to illuminate differentiated counseling approaches that support this student population. Each chapter highlights a key concept, and curriculum guidelines and resources for professional development support the text. KEY FEATURES: Interweaves school counseling and gifted education research and practice Considers characteristics and counseling concerns associated with giftedness Is based on the ASCA model for counseling programs Examines the complexities of career development, college readiness, and social/emotional development in this population Highlights key concepts and includes vignettes of critical incidents

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This handbook is organized as a practical guide for the counselor working with gifted students. Chapter 1 describes intelligence testing, achievement testing, and other means of identifying special talents. Suggestions are given to the counselor for discovering behaviors associated with various talents. Chapter 2 shows how counselors can work with teachers and administrators to ensure that gifted programs are sufficiently challenging and supportive for bright students.

The controversy over the definition of underachievement is discussed, and a model for creating hypotheses about underachievement is presented. Chapter 4 approaches the dilemma of finding the right college for the gifted student. The year-by-year planning schedule for college decision making, developed by Sandra Berger of the Council for Exceptional Children is summarized here as well. Chapter 5 describes the major problems in career decision-making that bright students encounter, and chapter 6 describes the special problems gifted females encounter in their academic and career development. Chapter 7 explores the research on the psychological adjustment of the gifted and talented as well as the specific psychological problems that may interact with giftedness. The final chapter shows how guidance services can be designed and how the counselor can learn effective techniques for helping gifted students. (LLL)
