Consulting with teachers
Having taught courses in gifted education to teachers across Australia and as a visiting scholar in the United States, I am very aware of current needs and requirements. Courses in gifted education are taught online or face to face, as one-week intensives. One hour or one day workshops can also be designed to accommodate specific school needs. Here is an example of some of the titles of past workshops:
