There is plenty of consensus on characteristics of Giftedness, plenty of research on educational best practice, plenty of practical teachers of good will, but starting with the nature of the child, we do get some clues. There is a zest and drive that goes beyond the mundane, a sensitivity and ethical spirit that need nurture; there are developed skills and a thirst for more; there is a need to work beyond the bell.
This workshop sets up a problem-centred challenge to participants to design learning packages that emphasise and build on quality, enriching tasks, tasks that provide challenge for the gifted learner.
