Glimpses of a Highly Gifted Child in a Heterogeneous Classroom.

Kennedy, Dorothy M.

Roeper Review, v17 n3 p164-68 Feb-Mar 1995

This article reports on the activities and interactions of a highly gifted 9-year-old boy working in a fifth grade classroom with students of mixed ability levels. School modifications to manage gaps between the boy's intellectual development and his social and emotional development took little account of his affective needs, and resulted in limited success in cognitive areas.
