She is senior author and director of Project A3: Awesome Advanced Activities for Mentoring Mathematical Minds, Project M3: Mentoring Mathematical Minds, and Project M2: Mentoring Young Mathematicians curriculum units for talented elementary students. Projects M3 and M2 units have won the NAGC Curriculum Division Award for nine consecutive years. She has also co-authored Math Innovations, a middle school mathematics curriculum. Dr. Gavin’s awards include the Early Leader Award from NAGC, the NAGC 2009 and 2013 Research Paper of the Year Awards, the Distinguished Researcher Award from the University of Connecticut, and the Robert A. Rosenbaum Leadership in Mathematics Award from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in Connecticut. She has published over 100 articles, book chapters, and curriculum materials on mathematics education with a focus on gifted students. In addition, she has provided professional development for teachers and administrators throughout the United States.

Renzulli, Ed.D., Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and Director of the Renzulli Center for Creativity Gifted Education, and Talent Development, is an esteemed leader in gifted education whose contributions have had a profound impact on teachers and students. His work on the Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness, the Enrichment Triad Model, curriculum compacting, and the use of instructional technology to assess student strengths and match resources to students' electronic profiles were pioneering efforts to make the field more flexible and to place the focus on talent development. He has contributed hundreds of books, book chapters, articles, and monographs to the professional literature, many of which have been translated to other languages. The American Psychological Association named him among the 25 most influential psycholgists in the world, and he recently received the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Award for Innovation in Education, considered by many to be "the Nobel Prize" for educators.

Recognizing and responding to the fact that technology is changing the educational landscape quickly and with a dramatic impact, Using the Schoolwide Enrichment Model With Technology is a solution-oriented book that offers guidance and ideas for educators as they seek to integrate technology into productive learning environments for their students.,Gifted Child Today, 9/17/17The authors recognize differences in teacher styles, interests and abilities. They also realize teachers are working within vastly different structures with many types of students. Even if the reader is not familiar with the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, this book could prove beneficial.,Michael Hernandez,MiddleWeb, 1/16/20
