Supervision, courses and workshops for professionals
Workshops and courses
Gifted Institute offers courses and workshops for professionals who work with gifted children and youth, including the twice-exceptional (2E). The position of schools and teachers in relation to the identification of and assistance to gifted and 2E children and youth is truly unique.
Gifted Institute trains teachers to spot the indicators of giftedness and 2E.
Gifted and 2E individuals often require teaching that takes a different approach than standard education. Therefore, when we conduct workshops and courses at a school, we train teachers in what gifted and 2E students generally prefer in their education. Additionally, they receive tools on how to best be curious about what works for each individual student. Gifted Institute offers both workshops (from two hours in duration) and course programs lasting up to three days.
Supervision
The gifted and 2E can at times react inappropriately and disruptively in class. This can be frustrating for classmates and teachers, and it can ruin the fun of attending school for all involved.
Gifted Institute offers supervision for teachers based on their specific challenges and focusing on what research says about the gifted, 2E, learning difficulties, and education.
With curiosity and respect for the bigger picture, we uncover possibilities for how the experienced issues can be handled to the benefit of both the gifted and 2E child and the class community. The supervision from Gifted Institute can take place in small group sessions for teachers, including class or year-level teams, where educators can collaboratively discuss and address their specific professional challenges. We supplement our concrete solution proposals with knowledge about giftedness, learning difficulties, and social dynamics. Together, this creates a cocktail of possibilities - ready to be tested.
Tests and test comprehension
Gifted Institute has extensive experience in testing, assessing, and counseling gifted and 2E children and youth. On the basis of this, the institute also offers professionals assistance with both testing and test interpretation, as the boundaries between different profiles in correlation with giftedness and 2E are complex. Our experience spans widely, and we are happy to discuss how a collaboration can look depending on the individual situation.
