Off the Charts<\/em>\u00a0is 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, and Asynchrony and Learning. Chapters describe the nature of asynchrony, methods of dealing with the challenges of asynchrony, and recommendations for adapting education in a variety of settings.<\/p>\nThe contributors\u2019 contention is that gifted education should be from a child-centered perspective, rather than from a \u201cproduct perspective,\u201d 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.\u00a0This is an important resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and others concerned with the optimal development of gifted to highly gifted individuals.<\/p>\n

The book is dedicated to Annemarie Roeper (1918-2012), who before she died contributed a chapter. From the introduction:\u00a0\u201cUnusual intelligence, when understood, accepted, supported, allowed, and even celebrated, can lead, as it did for Annemarie, to a life experience of passion, accomplishment, service to the world, and deep personal meaning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
