Passing on the Left: Stories of Gifted Individuals - Paperback

by Patricia Farrenkopf (Author)

Passing on the Left is what cyclists say to alert the need to go a bit faster than those they approach. Gifted students sometimes need to go a bit faster or more in-depth than their counterparts. Adults can model the way to find the best match between academic options and need. Eventually, students can advocate for themselves as well. Passing on the Left ties together its accompanying series titles, 'Sensational Sensibilities', 'Identity Journey', and 'Myth or Reality?' through stories and analogies.

It is important that parents and teachers have something that they can immediately use when working with gifted learners. This book and accompanying Passing on the Left activity matches an analysis of the stories of gifted individuals and their own Passing on the Left solutions.
