Current educational programs for gifted students are generally inadequate and do not fit the particular gifted child. Rogers explains various programs for acceleration and enrichment, as well as grouping practices. For each educational option, she delineates what the current research says about the benefit or lack of benefit to which types of gifted children and explains how to arrange each option.
