Overview
This articulated program is designed to equip teachers to meet the special educational, social and emotional needs of students with high intellectual potential. All lectures are held during school vacations in January and July and most students study part-time.
The Graduate Certificate focuses on the needs of students in the regular school system, although the lifespan needs of gifted individuals also are addressed.
The Masters critically analyses current definitions of intelligence, explores the concepts of critical, meta-cognitive, and moral thinking, and investigates the implications of these for classroom management. The specific nature of creative intelligence and divergent thinking skills is studied and a major focus is the design and implementation of suitable curricula, school programs and policies for gifted students.
Applicants who have completed a four year Education/Teaching degree (or equivalent) can receive one year's credit towards the Master of Education. This means the degree is effectively one year full-time or equivalent.
