Over 150 educators recently attended a seminar on ‘Supporting gifted learners in a mixed ability class’ that showcased various local enrichment programmes for gifted students.

The main speaker was Lianne Hoogeven from Radboud University in The Netherlands, a researcher on educational adjustments for gifted students. Prof. Hoogeven spoke about effective ways of engaging gifted students in class.

During the seminar the participants were also introduced to the Radboud International Training on High Ability (RITHA).

Nine local educators are currently taking part in the first RITHA blended course.

The seminar was held at Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School, Naxxar, and was organised by the Science Centre, Pembroke, with the support of the Institute for Education.
