Have you heard the saying, "All children are gifted. They just open their packages at different times and in different ways"? Yeah, well, that may be simplifying the notion of giftedness just a tad. In fact, although teachers and parents might identify giftedness in children by the differences that they demonstrate in a classroom, the definition of giftedness is a challenging one. There is no "one-size-fits-all" program or practice that is guaranteed to work. Often, a teacher just wants to keep a gifted child busy and out of trouble, so she or he may end up using materials that are marketed "for gifted kids," are attractive, and yet have no real substance. According to a project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and described in the book Best Practices in Gifted Education, there are 29 strategies that have been proven effective in identifying and serving gifted students. These research-grounded strategies offer specific guidance to teachers, administrators, policy makers, and parents. While many educational practices and packaged programs employ these strategies, there are even more that are based in pseudoscience, reputation, or just busywork with no substance. This chapter will take many of these research-based strategies and make them "real" for you. I'm sure that you want to meet ALL of your students' needs; let's not let any group of students lag behind in their educational growth.

"Twice-exceptional" children are those children who are gifted yet also have a disability that impacts their ability to fully develop in all areas (Baum & Owen, 2004). In this chapter, the term twice-exceptional will refer not to a given definition of either giftedness or disability, but to children who "exhibit remarkable strengths in some areas and disabling weaknesses in others" (Weinfeld, Barnes-Robinson, Jeweler, & Shevitz, 2002). This chapter will focus on those children who exhibit learning and social difficulties rather than physical or sensory impairments, primarily because they constitute the largest population of twice-exceptional students (National Educational Association, 2006). The following topics are addressed: identification issues, paradoxical characteristics, paradoxical programming, and paradoxical curriculum.

Offers an overview of Response to Intervention (RtI) models and principles, a tiered approach to supports and services, and how gifted students and students with high potential who have not yet been formally identified might fit within different tiers of instruction. Tier 1 instruction generally includes a validated, evidence-based program that is used with all students. Students who show advanced progress with Tier 1 instruction receive collaborative interventions—Tier 2. Tier 3 instruction is for those students who need comprehensive interventions and most often involves referral to specialized services. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of early intervention to ensure that problems are prevented and strengths are not diminished.

Code switching includes the use of complete sentences, phrases, and borrowed words from another language (Brice & Brice, 2000). It is a common linguistic phenomenon noted among bilingual populations. In order to code, switch effectively, students must possess a high level of understanding of the 2 cultures, as well as a deep understanding of the underlying structures and purposes of 2 language systems. Code switching, rather than reflecting the traditional view of a disadvantaged and semiliterate background, actually reflects an intellectual advantage. However, code switching has not commonly been perceived as a positive trait by schools, teachers, or the majority culture. Assessments for nomination and identification of giftedness have traditionally been either single-language oriented or use concepts and behaviors that are reflective of the majority culture. This article explores some of the aspects of code switching and possible resultant behaviors of bilingual children who are gifted.
