Given the "No Child Left Behind" emphasis on meeting minimum school achievement standards, what Daniel Goleman termed emotional intelligence is a low priority. Van Tassel-Baska (The College of William and Mary), other educators, and psychologists present strategies to help gifted students deal with their sensitivity, develop relationships, and channel their concerns about the world into worthwhile projects. The text includes examples of such projects, a 'houndstooth' model of giftedness, standards for gifted education, resources for multicultural education, and an action plan for professional development in an integrative affective curriculum.
