About I See You: The Gifted Student
I See You: The Gifted Student invites teachers to develop some understanding of why it is important to identify and recognise the needs of gifted and talented students they may be teaching, and explores some of the signs of giftedness they might look for in their students.
I See You: The Gifted Student is an online course developed by G&t4you Pty Ltd, t/as Gifted Online. The course is 1.5 hours in duration. Each module can consist of the following: learning content, quizzes and optional self-reflection tasks.
Context: As outlined in the Australian Teaching Standards (2022), it is every teacher’s responsibility to know students and how they learn and to understand the physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students. By completing the online course, I See You: The Gifted Student, participants demonstrate an active intention to take responsibility for improving their teaching through professional development, in order to better know their students, and therefore more effectively support them in their learning.
