E-raamat: Collaboration, Coteaching, and Coaching in Gifted Education: Sharing Strategies to Support Gifted Learners [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

Mofield, a professor of education who has experience teaching and leading gifted services, and Phelps, a consulting teacher for gifted education, offer a guide to collaboration, co-teaching, and coaching in gifted education in and outside schools. They provide a structure for how teachers can approach instructional planning and lesson implementation together, and they discuss the definition of collaboration and different collaborative practices, such as co-teaching, coaching, and collaborative consultation, as well as a model for collaboration; collaboration within the context of systemic change; the elements of coplanning for differentiated instruction; coplanning in practice; co-teaching models adapted for gifted education; how specific instructional strategies can be used to design lessons with planned vertical differentiation and deeper inquiry; instructional coaching in the context of gifted education; collaborative consultation in which the teacher or specialist works with a team to develop plans to address the special needs of gifted learners, especially twice-exceptionalities, underachievement, and social-emotional concerns; specific considerations and supports for identifying and serving diverse populations of gifted learners; and collaboration beyond the school, including parent engagement, using community resources, mentorships, and partnering with advocacy groups.
