Needs of Students Who Are Gifted.
The text required for the course, Growing Up Gifted by Barbara Clark,
costs $100. Rather than buy the book, a teacher has a couple of options:
1.) WOGI purchased one copy for each district gifted
coordinator. A teacher could request to borrow that book from their
district coordinator.
2.) DOE purchased 25 copies to be offered to participants through a check out
system that is free of charge and managed by Karen Hairston, WOGI Project
Director. If interested, contact Karen Hairston as soon as possible
since these books will be loaned on a first come/first serve
basis.
If a teacher desires to borrow a book there is a $6 postage
and handling fee and the
teacher is required to send an additional deposit check
made out to UNF Bookstore
for $100 to cover the cost of
replacement in case of loss or damage to the book. The deposit check will be
held until the book is returned in good condition at the end of the
course. Once the book is returned, the $100 deposit check will be
shredded or mailed back to the participant.
All book
loan inquiries should be directed to Karen Hairston at
