A big part of my job as a gifted educator is collaborating with the general ed. teachers who spend most of the day with my students. Collaboration, Coteaching, and Coaching came into my life at the exact right time--when I was struggling to build relationships with those teachers. This book helped me see through the perspective of the gen. ed. teacher and gave me concrete tools for co-planning and helping them to plan for gifted students on their own. This is a book that is now bookmarked in several places, and one I will use for years to come. I will continue to regularly use the Planning for Coteaching document (pg. 83) when working one-on-one with a teacher. The strategies described in Chapter 6 are so valuable, especially when giving gen. ed. teachers easy tools they can use with their students. I would highly recommend this book for any teacher who is working with others in planning for higher level and gifted/talented students.

As a gifted educator and a differentiation coach, this book was a must-have for my professional library.  I highlighted or flagged almost every inch of this text!  Mofield and Phelps’ new book reignited my passion for collaborating with and coaching general educators to bump up the material for our gifted learners.  Included in this text was a Spectrum of Collaboration that helped me better understand the role of coaching and how I can best support teachers.  I am eager to share the strategies that I learned with general educators, as I know they will find them useful, as they are interactive.  This might be an especially exciting component for virtual learning.  Bottom line: This is a great investment for you to achieve the maximum impact with your staff and your students.  A true must-read that you’ll refer to time and time again!  

Being a Gifted Coordinator, I am always looking for excellent resources for my gifted specialists to use with our gifted students, as well as resources to pass along to my regular ed teachers who would love differentiation ideas. This new book of Dr. Mofield and Dr. Phelps is an excellent tool for all teachers. The strategies for collaboration, coteaching, and coaching are proven and tested. As a gifted specialist working with Dr. Mofield, my gifted students have benefited from so many of these strategies. As a gifted specialist collaborating and coteaching with regular education teachers, the strategies are invaluable. This is a must have in every teacher's toolkit. Thanks for continuing to share your expertise with us!  Professional Development with these two seasoned, instructional leaders would be a win-win for your teachers as well!
