About this course
Across Australia, gifted people make up approximately 10% of our population – whether it be within your own family, a school, university, the workplace, or elsewhere in the community. You may not even realise they’re there! This fully online 6-week short course will broaden your understanding of what it means to be gifted and help shape the way you interact with the gifted learners who may be in your world. You will explore the unique characteristics, and other highly relevant aspects of gifted learners, and discover why there is not ‘one size fits all’ as you debunk some of the most common related myths and misconceptions.
