Enhance your differentiation skills and ability to cater to gifted learners.

GERRIC's Mini-COGE courses are practical professional development for educators to support high potential and gifted students. High potential students are not necessarily high achievers; we focus on how to engage and support these students to reach their potential.



The Mini-COGE will help you to:

Identify gifted, high potential, and talented students;

Differentiate the curriculum for high potential students;

Implement ability grouping or acceleration;

Understand gifted education research and best practices; and

Develop an existing (or create a new) unit of work to best suit the needs of the differentiated classroom and gifted students.


The unit of work allows you to implement practical changes to curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy, receive feedback from other educators and the GERRIC academic presenter, and provide ongoing impact to you and your students.

Webinar: Transitions within the School Day

Tuesday, 14 November at 3:30pm – 4:30pm AEST

A transition is described as a change from one thing to another. On a regular basis, within the school day, students are required to transition quickly and efficiently between a variety of classroom activities to participate effectively within the school environment. Students with Language Disorder or associated difficulties may find these transition times extremely stressful and may have challenges following expectations, instructions, organising themselves and successfully transitioning between different classroom activities.

In this webinar, Tracey Huttley (Inclusion – Specialist Educator) and Taryn van der Westhuizen (Senior Occupational Therapist) will discuss:

• What are transitions and why are they important?
• What happens when students have difficulties with transitions?
• What are different types of transitions?
• What skills are needed for successful transitions?
• Strategies to support successful transitions.

After watching our webinars, you can receive a certificate of attendance by completing its respective surveys.
