A Handbook Developed To Create A Better Understanding Of The Gifted, Nan M. Hake
All Graduate Projects
The problems encountered by gifted students when integrating into the regular self-contained classroom were studied.

Teachers unwittingly cause discomfort by the unchallenging tasks gifted children are expected to perform. Sixty children from the Wenatchee School District's Gifted Pull-out Program were asked to share some of their concerns pertaining to these problems. Based upon their responses and a survey of the literature, a handbook was compiled to help prevent parents, teachers and peers from misunderstanding the gifted student.
