The expert guide to the major issues, the chief trends, and the most effective models for nurturing creativity!

Recognizing, assessing, and nurturing creativity continue to be dynamic, evolving topics in gifted education. The articles in Creativity and Giftedness offer over 20 years of research, insight, and practical applications designed to pique the interest of gifted students and inspire them to reach their full potential.

Key features include:

  • A rich portrait of the origins, current state, and future of the field of creativity from Donald J. Treffinger, Director of the Center for Creative Learning
  • Examples and practical suggestions for putting research findings to use
  • Sixteen influential articles from pioneers in creativity as well as from current leaders in the field

The readings in this ready-reference debunk the many misconceptions about the connection between creativity and giftedness, and lend clarity to the most critical issues in this often nebulous area of gifted research.
