Consultation to Schools, and Parents and
Gifted Children's Organisations
I can be consulted by
Australian school
administrations, principals and teachers on issues relating
to provision for individual gifted children within the school, especially
highly gifted children, the
development of programs for gifted children, and the development of programs
teaching
effective "power" study skills, both for students in general, and
for gifted children who,
surprisingly, often don't develop these skills naturally and may not be
able to achieve the
high marks they are capable of.
Schools:
Principals and
teachers are becoming increasingly aware that gifted children have special needs
in the Australian Education system, and many want to make the best
provision possible for their
gifted students, within the resources and options available to them.
I am available for consultation with schools, for analysis of an individual
class or student situation,
for consultation on the presentation of extension or enrichment courses, or
special occasions such
as Gifted Children's Focus Days, Weekends, or camps. I am also
available to give staff workshops
on gifted issues and practical options within the normal classroom.
School staff members can submit questions, problems or issues beforehand so that
workshops
are designed to meet the needs of the specific school situation.
Parent and Gifted Children's
Organisations:
I am available as a speaker
or workshop facilitator, again with the focus of addressing the
practical interests, needs, or concerns of the individual members of
the group.
Consulation Rates:
Consultation to Education
Departments or school administrations, AUS $125.00 per hour, or by contract
negotiation.
Speaker and workshop presentations: by negotiation.
