The Teacher Education Position Paper Committee is currently collaborating through the WCGTC Forum and is hard at work sharing content and stories about teachers and gifted education from their regions around the world. Some sample questions they are examining include:
- Describe how gifted and talented students are being served and supported in schools.
- For educators who receive training on gifted education, how and where are they prepared to work with gifted and talented learners?
- Describe the evaluation process of services for gifted and talented students. (How do you know if services are effective or ineffective?)
A tentative timeline for the work of the committee is included below.
