Gifted and Talented
Gifted Education
An integral part of the Gifted and Talented Program at Emanuel School is the identification of our gifted students. We use a range of objective and subjective data across K-12, which includes the assessment of a student’s aptitude (gifts) and achievement (talents) levels.
Subjective data is the observations teachers make of students in their classroom and include the following areas:
- Characteristics of Gifted Learners
- Student Interests
- Learning Styles
- Learning Disabilities
- Development Processes (asynchronous development & zone of proximal development).
Aligning with the definitions of giftedness (published in Week 7), we then collate this data, identifying students who are in the gifted range (top 10%) and how their unique needs can be met in the classroom and in the wider school setting.
What’s happening in the G&T Department?
Rostrum Voice of Youth Public Speaking Competition
Four Emanuel Students competed in the heats for the Rostrum Voice of Youth Public Speaking Competition held at Ascham School last Thursday. Students were chosen based on internal trials held in Week 5. Hannah Fekete, Tamar Granot and Daniel Millner entered the Junior Division and Jayden Segal entered the Senior Division.
All of our candidates did a splendid job and Daniel Millner was awarded the winner of his heat and is through to the Regional Finals. Well done Daniel, and good luck in the next round in Term 2.
Thank you to Ms Tritsch for preparing the students for this event.
