This handy reference serves as a guide for using academic competitions as part of K–12 students' total educational experience. Covering 170 competitions in several content areas, this handbook offers a brief description of each event plus contact and participation information. The authors list criteria for selecting events that match students' strengths and weaknesses and also discuss:
  • The impact of competitions on the lives of students
  • Ways to anticipate and avoid potential problems
  • Strategies for maximizing the benefits of competitions
