What participants say…

I would recommend it - interesting and practical, not theory bound. As a principal, my knowledge of the Gifted and Talented grew, as did my knowledge of ways I can cater for them in this school.
- I. Hall, Napier.

It has been a privilege to be on the course. I feel such a passion and commitment to making a difference for the gifted kids that come my way. Thank you for the inspiration.
- S. Mercer, Wellington.

I have grown heaps as I have worked through the course with you this year … I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it.
- M. Leaming, Kapeopeo.

I think every school should have at least one teacher do the course (or make it a school focus for the year and ALL staff do it!)
- K. Newbrook, New Plymouth.

I hope all the other members of staff sign up for the next course. In fact I have already spoken about it at our latest staff meeting.
- M.Miller, Otorohanga.

The support from my tutor was outstanding … I have described it to the whole staff to attempt to influence them to take it all together.
- D. Soljan, West Auckland.

It’s a lot of work, but well worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it has given me a much more comprehensive understanding of gifted children, gifted education issues, and lots of ideas to use with children in the classroom.
- S. Bufton, Rotorua.

Value for money, this course was exceptional. So was the feedback given … This course is a “flint” to challenge you to think about and improve your teaching practice with gifted and talented students. It makes you reflect on what you’re doing now with G&T and then reflecting on what you can do better.
- V. Herbert, Winton.

It has been a great catalyst for me. - A. Wysockyj, Rangiora.
A course that potentially makes a huge difference to the way schools cater for their G&T students. I have found it enjoyable and extremely interesting! It has broadened my view and challenged my thinking!
- K. Fikkers, Tauranga.

I came into the course knowing very little about how gifted and talented children functioned, and I can honestly say that I feel that I leave the course being a better teacher. I feel that it is not just the gifted and talented children that are gaining from my doing this course but all the children as I try and differentiate all the lessons to cater for different needs.
- C. Hallier, Rotorua.
