Description

A 40-hour certificate program for teachers covering “basic pedagogical formation, thinking-critical thinking and creative thinking training for gifted and talented students and the curriculum integration of these trainings.” Its content has three stages — gifted students, creative thinking, and critical thinking — delivered over two weekends by a university professor and an expert, with a booklet and pre-testing at each practice. The aim is to enable teachers to identify gifted children, learn appropriate methods, and prepare enriched and differentiated lesson plans.
