Welcome to Gifted Online’s Base Resource Package.
This Package of digital resources provides an overview of the key principles of gifted education, and two ‘Introduction to the Key Points’ Resources. The first of these is an explanation in response to the question “Why Gifted Education?”, providing the rationale or purpose it has for schools and their gifted students.
The second ‘Key Points Resource’ is a succinct overview of a central principle of Gifted Education: Identification. Core information around identification of the gifted is supported by some deeper explanations of key aspects in the three Supporting Resources and a Key Terms Glossary.
To get the most from this Package, it is suggested that subscribers read and view each of the materials provided, and then spend some time reflecting on one idea that may have caught their attention. Consider how it could be incorporated into practice and play around with ideas – try something new. Then come back and revisit the learning to see what else could be brought to life in the classroom or school to support gifted students. Use the subscription period to revisit and consider what other ideas and approaches can be used to improve gifted education practice at your school.
As you read the Key Points Resource, you will come across Supporting Resources or Key Terms from the Glossary. Use the menu on the left to access the supporting resource or glossary. Be aware that some supporting resource documents may have more than one page: use the two curved arrows on the bottom left of the viewing window to check and to move onto the second page. When you are ready to go back to reading the Key Points document, click on the ‘Return to Key Points’ button at the base of the page.
Enjoy the learning!
