In print: Sutherland, M. (2012) Gifted and Talented in the Early Years: a practical guide for 4-6 year olds London: SAGE.

This second edition advocates an inclusive approach and updates current theories, research and bet practices in the field. The text incorporates 21st century skills, cultural perspectives and international education, and focuses on how to create appropriately challenging activities for the young gifted and talented child.
Dr Gillian Eriksson, Coordinator: Gifted Education Program, School of Teaching, Learning and Leadership, University of Central Florida, USA.

This expanded edition builds on Margaret's approach to tacking and learning making us think how we can best include gifted and talented children in our early years settings. By providing opportunities for young children to learn from each other and fro their communities and families, gifted and talented young learners can be appropriately challenged and recognised within an inclusive setting.
Professor Peter Merrotsy, Graduate School of Education, The University of Western Australia.

Research interests

Research Interests

Margaret's research interests revolve around inclusive education and the experiences of young people in schools. In particular she is interested in how the current international focus on early years education allows for the development of abilities, including high abilities, in young children. Her research involves working across Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools. As Director of SNAP her work is based on a broadened conception of ability rather than on labelling young people. She is interested in the role of the teacher, and in how teacher beliefs might change and impact practice. It is this fine-grained understanding of teachers’ attitudes that is crucial if we are to bridge the disjunction between research, policy and practice. She is interested in social justice and issues relating to poverty and disability and the role of formal and non-formal education in creating more just societies in the global north and south. Recently she has been working with staff from The School of Veterinary Medicine, The Institute of Cancer Sciences University of Glasgow working on enhancing visibility and awareness of neurodiversity in the workplace.

Research Collaborations

A collaborative Research Project, curriculum design and staff attitudes towards gifted education, has been developed between SNAP and The Centre for Gifted Education. The College of William and Mary, Virginia, USA (Prof. Tracy Cross, Dr Jennifer Riedl Cross), Dr Colm O'Reilly, The Center for Talented Youth in Ireland and Dr Mar M.del Mar Badia Martín, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.

SNAP worked with Prof. Albert Ziegler. Professor of Educational Psychology, Giftedness, and Research on Excellence University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Dr Heidrun Stoeger, Universitat Regensburg.
