Introduction
This programme is recognized by the European Council for High Ability (the ECHA), Radboud University as a part of the RITHA Specialist Programme. This programme aims to help develop your role as a teacher and/or counsellor of gifted students/people and to assist you in implementing gifted programmes in your own learning environment.
Achievement upon the completion
Trained school professionals will look at students in a different way, recognizing characteristics that can indicate high abilities and, more important, a need for a different curriculum, more apt to challenge the students and teach them to learn (think, persist, and be creative). Other professionals like psychologists and pedagogues can enlarge the scope of their working environment towards the gifted target groups.
