Hoogbegaafde kinderen versnellen niet
Renata Hamsikova
Misschien denk je “wat raar, hoogbegaafde kinderen versnellen juist wel”. Nou, eigenlijk niet. Je versnelt het kind niet, het leert alleen sneller ten opzichte van andere kinderen. De term versnellen heeft in Nederland nog steeds een negatieve lading. Dit komt doordat men onvoldoende kennis heeft over de effecten van versnellen, lees: over de effecten van een hoogbegaafd kind in zijn ontwikkeling volgen.
Daarom heb ik deze publicatie geschreven. Om leerkrachten inzichten te geven die gebaseerd zijn op wetenschappelijk onderzoek en niet op onderbuikgevoel en om hen te helpen bij het onderwijzen van hoogbegaafde leerlingen.
Slapende leeuwen
Els De Wit
Uitzonderlijke hoogbegaafdheid, is dat nu écht zo anders? In België beginnen we net te wennen aan het gegeven hoofdbegaafdheid, laat staan dat we begrijpen wat we moeten aanvangen met uitzonderlijke hoogbegaafdheid.
Dit boek geeft een helder overzicht van de meest relevante theorieën uit Europa en Amerika. Daarnaast geeft de auteur je inzage in de praktijk, die ook leidde tot een theoretische indeling van wat uitzonderlijke hoogbegaafdheid inhoudt.
Tot slot delen ouders speciaal voor dit boek getuigenissen. Het totaal geeft ouders en begeleiders een waardevolle blik achter de schermen.
Leven met intensiteit
Susan Daniels en Michael M. Piechowski
Wat als iemand “te veel’ is voor zijn of haar omgeving of zichzelf? Te slim, te beweeglijk, te emotioneel, zich te veel laat meeslepen door wat hij ziet of hoort, en/of een overactieve verbeelding heeft? Dat kan belastend zijn en tot frustraties of zelfs (psycho)neuroses leiden.
De hoofdstukken in dit boek laten aan de hand van de theorie van positieve desintegratie van Kazimierz Dabrowski zien dat dit uitingen van een bijzondere aanleg en begaafdheid kunnen zijn. De auteurs leren ouders, verzorgers, leraren en andere professionals om deze signalen te herkennen en hierop hun begeleiding af te stemmen om individuen met deze en andere talenten te helpen hun potentieel te ontplooien.
Dabrowski’s concepten van de hyperprikkelbaarheden en positieve desintegratie zijn behulpzaam bij het begrijpen van de gedragingen van sommige begaafde kinderen en volwassenen die anders onverklaarbaar zouden schijnen.
Uitzonderlijk talent – gids voor hoogbegaafden, uitvinders en andere vreemde vogels
Frans Corten
Veel hoogbegaafden en andere vreemde vogels blijken moeite te hebben om hun weg in het leven en hun werk te vinden. Ondanks hun talenten raken ze in conflict met leidinggevenden, voelen ze zich niet begrepen of kunnen ze maar niet ontdekken wat ze écht willen.
Frans Corten, zelf zo’n vreemde vogel, begeleidt hoogbegaafden en andere uitzonderlijke talenten in hun loopbaan. Hij is een van de pioniers op het gebied van hoogbegaafde volwassenen. In dit boek heeft hij alle werkzame inzichten en eigen uitvindingen bijeengebracht die behulpzaam kunnen zijn om beter je weg te vinden in leven en werk. Hij adviseert, niet belerend of betweterig maar geheel vrijblijvend en met respect voor de eigenzinnigheid van jou als vreemde vogel.
Vijf vreemde vogels die op hun pootjes terecht zijn gekomen vertellen achterin dit boek openhartig over de valkuilen en uitdagingen in hun loopbaan.
Uitzonderlijk talent biedt je een handleiding om je uitzonderlijke zelf te herkennen én serieus te nemen. En dat is het begin van je nieuwe toekomst.

Exceptionally Gifted Children
Miraca U.M. Gross
No previous study has traced so closely and so sensitively the intellectual, social and emotional development of highly gifted young people. This 20 year study reveals the ongoing negative academic and social effects of prolonged underachievement and social isolation imposed on gifted children by inappropriate curriculum and class placement and shows clearly the long lasting benefits of thoughtfully planned individual educational programs. The young adults of this study speak out and show how what happened in school has influenced and still influences many aspects of their lives. Miraca Gross provides a clear, practical blueprint for teachers and parents who recognise the special learning needs of gifted children and seek to respond effectively.
5 levels of gifted
Deborah Ruf
Giftedness exists on a continuum–there is a broad range of traits and behaviors that children can exhibit based on where they fall in that continuum. 5 Levels of Gifted is an award-winning book describing these differences within the gifted population. Author Deborah Ruf looks at 78 gifted children and groups them into five levels of giftedness based on developmental milestones, as well as test data. This information gives parents and educators a reference guide to compare with their own gifted children or students. The author then offers different educational approaches and practical advice, including how to find the best type of school for children at each level.
5 levels of gifted Children Grown Up
Deborah Ruf
The 5 Levels of Gifted Children Grown Up is a detailed follow-up to Dr. Deborah Ruf’s previous book, 5 Levels of Gifted: School Issues and Educational Options. In this book, Dr. Ruf explores how background experiences and opportunities shape the lives of a specific group of gifted children – the ones from her previous book – as they reach adulthood.

Off the Charts: Asynchrony and the Gifted Child
Stephanie S. Tolan
Off the Charts is an exploration of the effects of asynchronous development on gifted children and adults. It contains sections on Asynchrony and the Individual, Asynchrony and the Family, Asynchrony and Learning and chapters describe the nature of asynchrony, methods of dealing with the challenges of asynchrony, and recommendations for adapting education in a variety of settings. A Bibliography on Asynchronous Development provides extensive further reading.
The contributors’ contention is that Gifted Education should be from a child-centered perspective, rather than from a ‘product perspective’ in which the emphasis is on achievement, competition and outer recognition. The child-centered approach concentrates on self-development and personal growth and fosters interrelatedness and wholeness.
It is an important resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and others concerned with the optimal development of gifted to highly-gifted individuals.
Greatest Potential, Greatest Need: Soaring Beyond Expectations
Institute for the Development of Gifted Education
Highly gifted children are as different from gifted children as gifted children are from typical learners. And, as a reflection of their difference from the norm, they are highly unique individuals as well. The concept underlying many of these articles is based on Annemarie Roeper’s (1982) definition of giftedness: “Giftedness is a greater awareness, a greater sensitivity, and a greater ability to understand and transform perceptions into intellectual and emotional experiences”, and expanded upon by Linda Silverman: “The highly gifted have a different worldview”. Recognition of these differences and subsequent needs is not only essential to serve this population, but also to 5 Greatest Potential, Greatest Need: Soaring Beyond Expectations create environments that allow them to thrive. Those of us working with these children have no greater opportunity to impact the future than to care for and cherish these unique individuals.

Children Above 180 IQ Stanford-Binet Origin and Development
Leta Stetter Hollingworth
It is the first in-depth study and reference into the life of children with IQ’s higher than 180.
Hollingworth’s final study on gifted children was a longitudinal study of twelve children with IQs higher than 180. The twenty three years were spent finding the children and attempting an in-depth study. The results of the study suggested that many exceptionally gifted children suffer adjustment problems due to two factors: inept treatment by adults and lack of intellectual challenge. Adults would often ignore such children because they were thought to be self-sufficient. Myths that exceptional children were clumsy, fragile and eccentric were dismissed by the findings as well.
