Training colleagues
Teachers working with gifted and talented learners need to know how to provide for these students. The specific strategies explored in this website will help teachers to improve their own and their colleagues' expertise.
London Gifted & Talented's learning networks offer teachers space to connect with colleagues, to share expertise and to explore new ideas. Our networks bring together teachers and schools from across the city through a combination of face-to-face and online sessions.
Continuing professional development from the Standards site.
