At Our Lady of Dolours Primary School we aim to cater for particular learning, social and emotional needs of High Potential and Gifted students from Kindergarten to Year 6. We do this through a Naturally Embedded approach where we focus on differentiated learning in our inclusive school context, whilst also enriching the professional learning experiences for all staff.
High potential and gifted students have advanced learning capacity compared to same age students asn, as a result, require talent development opportunities and differentiated teaching and learning practices to ensure their specific learning needs are met. High potential students are found among students of all backgrounds.
Gagne’s Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT) allows us to identify high potential in students through natural abilities in certain domains and aims to develop these into high performance.
