A three day course.
Friday 26 June, Tuesday 28 July & Friday 14 August 2020.
This course is appropriate for primary and secondary teachers, coordinators and school leaders who want a comprehensive understanding of gifted and talented education. This course includes all aspects of the entry-level Gifted and Talented Professional Learning Modules (developed by GERRIC with DEEWR) as well as up-to-date research, strategies and time for practical planning. A separate one-day specialist course is available for staff who have completed this three-day course and for staff who have an expert-level understanding of gifted and talented education.
What to expect.
Day One — June 26, 2020
We’ll explore questions like, what do we mean by “gifted and talented”? What are the characteristics of these students? How do we identify gifted and talented students? How do we track the growth of these students to ensure we are making an impact on their learning journey?
Day Two — July 28, 2020
Social and emotional characteristics and needs of gifted and talented students. We’ll also cover underachievement and strategies to identify and manage this.
Day Three — August 14, 2020
A look at designing challenging learning experiences for gifted and talented students, including questioning, differentiation, high order thinking, and assessment (pre, formative and off-level). Designing program options for gifted and talented students, including grouping, acceleration options, and compacting, mentoring and alternative options.
