Peter Merrotsy

    Research output: Book/ReportBookEdited

    Abstract

    The New South Wales Government aims to identify gifted and talented students and to maximise their learning outcomes in all public schools. Giftedness refers to potential distinctly beyond the average for the student’s age and encompasses a broad range of abilities in the intellectual, creative, socio-emotional and physical domains. Talent denotes achievement distinctly beyond the average for a student’s age as a result of application to training and practice. School communities have a responsibility to develop effective and equitable identification procedures and developmentally appropriate programs for gifted and talented students. Professional development will occur at state and regional levels and within school communities to enable provision for gifted and talented students. The Director-General will report on the outcomes of schooling for gifted and talented students and ensure that policy implementation is monitored and evaluated.
