Videos (theories, demos) | Gifted and Talented - Goal of Talent Education | The Netherlands |
This video delves into the topic of defining the six different goals of talent education. The first goal is to ensure that children do not get depressed because they are not reaching the level they are at. The next goal is to get children to be productive and reach their potential. Most of the enrichment programs available are about the content rather than about teaching skills. So ideally a policy document should specify the skills and the content used to teach them. If you are a teacher it is likely that in your classroom, you will have children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, etc. and you need to be able to cater to all their needs. Make sure your priorities are clear and you work on making them productive, not getting them to be depressed, meeting their core curriculum needs and develop additional skills. |
