In 2011, Associate Professor Dr. Daiva Grakauskaitė-Karkockienė, a faculty member in the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the Lithuanian University of Educational Science and Director of the Educational Center for the Gifted (GABIŲJŲ UGDYMO CENTRAS), arranged for me to provide professional development for 15 teachers who would become the trainers of teachers working with gifted children throughout Lithuania. Afterwards, Daiva asked me to write this book to help teachers understand the uniqueness of being gifted and to provide strategies for intervening at an appropriate high level of learning to address their special needs. It is both an honor and a pleasure to dedicate Your Passport to Gifted Education to Daiva. For your creativity and commitment to inspire teachers globally and to build awareness for an exceptional population of children in Lithuania, Daiva, this book is for you.
