Policy Into Practice

Introducing the social-emotional domain of high potential

This interactive session will introduce the 4 domains of high potential: the creative, intellectual, physical and social emotional domains.

We will focus on the social emotional domain and discuss:

● What does it mean to have high potential in the social-emotional domain?

● How can we notice our children’s high potential in this domain?

● How can our children be supported at school – within the classroom, across the school and outside of the school?

● How can we, as parents and caregivers further support our children to reach their potential in this domain?

This session will include opportunities to share stories and ask questions
