About the Book

This user-friendly text offers a comprehensive overview at the interface between bilingual/multicultural/ESL education and gifted education. Reaching New Horizons is the first book of its kind. Written by nationally recognized and award-winning leaders in both gifted and bilingual education, the authors have collaborated to create a text that bridges research and practice and has far-reaching implications for educators at all levels as culturally and linguistically diverse students continue to impact public education. The text includes chapters on program delivery models (Ch. 6), bilingualism (Ch. 3), and identification and assessment (Ch. 5)—all topics that have come into the forefront of issues faced by bilingual and gifted education teachers of grades K-12.
