Statewide staff meeting – new 'High potential and gifted education policy'

11/5/2021

0 Comments

Happening this Thursday!

The new High potential and gifted education policy is for implementation in schools P-12 from 2021, replacing the 2004 Gifted and talented policy.

There are some major shifts in the new policy, including:
- a strong focus on students with high potential, and on recognising underachievement and potential
- 4 domains of potential – creative, intellectual, physical and social-emotional
- understanding the diversity of high potential students
- a focus on developing talent, to move students from high potential to high performance.

This session will provide an introduction to the new policy, the characteristics of high potential and gifted students and ways to implement the policy within the languages context. We will also explore the differentiation adjustment tool, which will support you to adjust your existing activities to meet the needs of individual students.

You must enrol in the session on MyPL to receive the link to the online meeting. Search for course code NR29242, and select the session for Thursday 13 May.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The session will be recorded for those unable to join us.

New High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) policy

5/11/2020

Introduction
Do you know that the department has a new learning and teaching policy – the High Potential and Gifted Education Policy? Following extensive consultation and underpinned by a literature review – Revisiting Gifted Education – the policy was announced by the Premier and Minister for Education on 4 June 2019, with mandatory implementation commencing in schools from 27 January 2021.

The new policy is more inclusive, while still promoting excellence. It supports every student to achieve their educational potential, through talent development opportunities and differentiated teaching and learning practices to ensure that their specific learning and wellbeing needs are met. It also promotes engagement and challenge for every student, regardless of background, in every school across intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains.

The policy specifically seeks to close existing excellence gaps in our system by addressing the needs of groups of students who are more likely to underachieve and are less likely to be represented in our HPGE programs and classes.

Implementation support
The HPGE team has developed a comprehensive suite of resources available for principals, schools and teachers P-12 to plan for and commence implementation in 2021, including:

- advice for schools around the policy in the context of School Excellence in Action
- a dedicated web section with comprehensive implementation advice and guidance for schools – the web section will continue to evolve to support schools to build sophistication in their approaches to meeting the needs of their high potential and gifted students
- the HPGE Policy Evaluation and Planning Tool to support school leaders and teachers with implementation of the HPGE policy into strategic improvement plans
- professional learning courses designed to support schools to implement and embed the policy over the coming years
- illustrations of practice, including the early adopter school journeys (coming soon)
- the differentiation and adjustment tool, linked with the Digital Learning Selector, has been a big hit with schools as an entry point to evidence-based talent development for HPGE students.
