New Resource for Parents of Gifted Children

It is not often that a new resource for parents of gifted students comes along. New on the scene is Prufrock Press' gifted education podcast a new addition to the Prufrock Press Blog.

The first podcast on the topic of ability grouping gifted children with the second episode just posted which acts as a parent's brief introduction to various learning opportunities for gifted children.

Parents of gifted children are often presented with a menu of learning opportunities for their kids. From special accelerated classes, dual-enrollment college programs, homeschooling, to online courses ... the decisions about quality learning opportunities can seem endless. In this week's podcast, I sit down with Carol Fertig, the author of the new book, Raising a Gifted Child: A Parenting Success Handbook, in order to help make sense of some of these many options.

Listen to the Podcast

You can listen to this podcast by visiting Prufrock Press' Gifted Education Blog.

If you have iTunes installed on your computer, you can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes (much to by 15-year-old daughter's dismay--apparently, her dad is not cool enough to have a podcast on iTunes ... to which I respond ... au contraire!). If you do listen to the podcast via iTunes, please feel free to post a review there.

Listen in and let me know what you think!
