Understanding Gifted Adolescents: Accepting the Exceptional
addresses the basis of exclusive education for gifted adolescents
from the theoretical perspective of social identity. Using the lens
of social identity theory and adolescent development related to
giftedness, this book builds the case for a curriculum for gifted
adolescents. By providing a comprehensive foundation for exploring
the concept of a more exclusive education scholastically, and
debunking the "elitist" concept of gifted education, this book is a
well-organized and clearly-structured exposition for the philosophy
of gifted education, as well as a means of putting a curricular
model into practice in American high schools. With pointed
critiques of differentiated instruction in the general education
classroom and the current trend of standardization and
normalization in the current educational climate, a new philosophy
for addressing gifted education is presented.

Though discussing sexual material in novels aimed at the young
adult market may make some individuals blush, the authors of such
fiction often seek to represent a very real component in the lives
of many teens. Unfortunately, authentic and teen-relatable
information on healthy adolescent sexuality is not readily
available, and sex education classes have had a minimal effect on
positive sexual identity development. Consequently, young adult
literature that contains sexual elements can play a critical role
in addressing the questions and concerns of teens. In Sexual
Content in Young Adult Fiction: Reading between the Sheets, Bryan
Gillis and Joanna Simpson examine sexual material in canonical,
historical, dystopian, romantic, and realistic contemporary fiction
for teens. The authors begin with an exploration of sexual identity
development and discuss the constructive influence that realistic
representations of teen sexual behavior can have on that
development. The authors provide a myriad of texts and examples
that will help parents, teachers, and librarians better understand
the positive role that sexual content in YA fiction can play in the
socio-emotional and academic development of adolescents. The book
concludes with an overview and analysis of censorship in the world
of young adult fiction. In addition to providing a survey of sexual
content in young adult literature, this book can help inspire
adults to facilitate effective and responsible discussions about
young adult fiction that contains sexual material. Featuring a
"novels cited" and "works cited" bibliography, Sexual Content in
Young Adult Fiction is an important resource that parents and
educators will find particularly valuable.
