This unit provides a framework for students to understand giftedness and the practices associated with gifted education from a theoretical perspective, and through the assessment tasks provides opportunities for both critically reflective appraisal and practical application of new understandings. It requires students to critically examine current understandings and practices relating to teaching highly able students from a national and international perspective. A focus of the unit is on development of differentiated curricula to engage all ability levels and gifted students in particular. -- Course Website
