World Council for Gifted and Talented Children

ECHA Thematic Conference

“Every teacher is a teacher of gifted students,” writes the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC) in the document “Global Principles for Professional Learning in Gifted Education.” The WCGTC, therefore, states that every teacher must be prepared to provide appropriate education for gifted students. Since 2022–2023, the National Knowledge Centre for Giftedness has existed in the Netherlands. The Centre is an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This Knowledge Centre is a hybrid organization, meaning that knowledge building and sharing occur both online and in person. Examples include a rich database with multimedia brochures, videos, animations, fact sheets, FAQ sheets, podcasts, short online training sessions, exchange sessions at national and local levels, conferences, and more. The combination of what is offered creates a national curriculum for training teachers who want to learn more about high-quality education for gifted students. The Knowledge Centre maintains a neutral position towards all information and does not prescribe what is “good.” Instead, it makes accessible what is possible and evidence-informed, allowing schools and teachers to make critical choices themselves about the knowledge and information that best suits their principles. The great thing is that, because it is a government initiative, all activities organized and all materials made available are free to everyone. In this webinar, we will provide insight into how the curriculum is constructed, how we ensure diversity in the provision, and how we connect with modern insights regarding the training of educational professionals.
