    Event Title:  Building Inclusive Gifted Programs to Enfranchise and Empower All Gifted Learners  

    Date: 21/5/2022  

    Time:  11am - 1pm AEST  

    Organisation:  AAEGT

    Name: AAEGT Executive  

    Location:  Online 

    Audience: Educators, educational leaders, psychologists and parents

    Event Description:  The hallmark of excellence in gifted education insists on inclusivity and equitable identification, along with vibrant, culturally diverse programming practices and culturally responsive classrooms.  In this session the presenter discusses methods and approaches that can help integrate the needs of our diverse gifted learners into every aspect of school. Focusing on enfranchising and empowering all gifted learners, Dr. Brulles will share practical steps like-minded advocates can make to build, support and maintain inclusive gifted practices and programs. Dr. Brulles will also discuss gifted cluster grouping, one such inclusive model that allows gifted-identified students to learn together all day, every day; enfranchises underrepresented populations; and yields desirable achievement outcomes for all students.

PLEASE KEEP YOURSELF AND OTHERS SAFE

Thankyou for supporting Gifted Awareness Week Australia. We are committed to raising awareness through our events, blog posts and Facebook page. However, with COVID-19 on everyone’s mind, we ask all participants to stay away from GAW events if you are feeling unwell, have just returned from overseas, or been in contact with friends who have been overseas or unwell. 


Please also check event details incase the event you planned to attend has been cancelled. Even if you cannot attend a planned event, you can still join our awareness raising campaign by posting and re-posting content on social media, liking our Facebook page and liking individual posts. 


You can also share resources and blog posts with your friends, colleagues and child’s school. Together we can make a difference, virus or no virus!
