Enhance your differentiation skills and ability to cater to gifted learners
GERRIC’s Mini-COGE courses are practical professional development for educators to support high potential and gifted students. High potential students are not necessarily high achievers; we focus on how to engage and support these students to reach their potential.
The Mini-COGE will help you to;
- identify gifted, high potential and talented students;
- differentiate the curriculum for high potential students;
- implement ability grouping or acceleration;
- understand gifted education research and best practices; and
- develop an existing (or create a new) unit of work to best suit the needs of the differentiated classroom and gifted students.
The unit of work allows you to implement practical changes to curriculum, assessment and pedagogy, receive feedback from other educators and the GERRIC academic presenter, and provide ongoing impact to you and your students.
