11th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness
11th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness - thinking smart: Effective partnerships for talent development Sydney 29 July - 1 August 2010
The theme of the conference is “Thinking Smart: Effective Partnerships for Talent Development”, which signals the belief that we all need to work collaboratively to ensure that gifted students are provided with the best possible education.
"It is an important time for gifted education internationally and we have secured dynamic gifted educators from across the globe to stimulate and challenge our thinking. It will be a great opportunity to hear new ideas and to renew connections with old friends and colleagues from the Asia-Pacific rim and beyond. Australian educators, too, are keen to share their practices in gifted education with our international colleagues."
The conference will feature the Think Bank Workshop, Think Bank Program and a Youth Summit. This event will provide an opportunity for educators, professionals, students and parents to gather, discuss, exchange ideas and opinions through workshops and sessions.
It looks very exciting!
