S3 E8: On HPGE and differentiation in the classroom

In this episode, we’re joined by Anita, an experienced educator and High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) Adviser, to discuss all things HGPE. We learn about the Inspire program and how schools can apply the HPGE Policy when supporting students to reach their potential. We also discuss practical approaches for identifying and supporting high-potential students, including explicit teaching, differentiation and advanced learning pathways, as well as the future of HPGE across NSW.  We acknowledge that this episode of the Teach NSW Podcast was recorded on the homelands of the Darug people at Parramatta Public School. We pay respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples listening to the Teach NSW Podcast today.  **Connect with us** If you would like to provide feedback or suggestions for future episodes, please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠teachnsw@det.nsw.edu.au⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get in touch with the Teach NSW Podcast team.
