Theme: Wellbeing of the Gifted Student: the Complex interplay of strengths and challenges
Friday is a focused professional development day with facillitators.
Saturday will offer keynotes and a variety of sessions suited to parents, educators, professionals who are interested in meeting the needs of Gifted Education.
Currently we are asking for presenters to submit for 40 min sessions on Saturday 23rd May.
The Queensland Association for Gifted and Talented Children (QAGTC) invites teachers, practitioners and psychologists to submit presentation proposals for our upcoming conference focused on gifted student wellbeing. This conference brings together educators and parents to deepen understanding of the unique social, emotional and cognitive experiences of gifted children and young people.
We are seeking engaging, practical and evidence-informed presentations that explore how exceptional strengths can coexist with vulnerability, intensity and challenge. In particular, we welcome submissions that support teachers to:
- Foster wellbeing and engagement for gifted students in everyday classroom practice
- Effectively manage and support gifted learners within mixed-ability classrooms
- Accommodate diverse learning, social and emotional needs while maintaining high expectations
We also strongly encourage psychologists and allied health professionals to submit proposals, particularly those with experience supporting neuro-divergent gifted children (including twice-exceptional learners). Presentations offering practical strategies, case studies, or collaborative approaches between schools, families and clinicians are especially valued.
If you are passionate about supporting the whole gifted child and empowering educators and parents with meaningful insights and tools, we would love to hear from you. Join us in contributing to a thoughtful, solutions-focused conversation that places wellbeing at the heart of gifted education.
