National Strategies Gifted and Talented Newsletter November 2008

The National Strategies' gifted and talented programme is a cross-phase programme designed to provide support at LA, whole-school and classroom level for improving provision and outcomes for gifted and talented pupils in the context of school self-evaluation and improvement, Every Child Matters and the personalisation of learning for all pupils.

Fundamental to the programme is the belief that provision should counteract disadvantage and prevent underachievement.

National Strategies are pleased to announce the publication of their first eNewsletter for gifted and talented education.

The newsletter includes information, updates, cameos of effective practice and links to NS guidance and publications, both G&T and other related NS programmes.

This issue is targeted at LA G&T leads and primary and secondary National Strategy managers. You might also wish to share the content with other LA colleagues and use in briefings and newsletters to head teachers and leading teachers for G&T.

The Newsletter includes information, updates, cameos of effective practice and links to a range of publications and guidance to support school improvement and enhance provision and outcomes for pupils.  The Newsletter includes mainstreaming gifted and talented education, leading teachers for gifted and talented education,  and what's new in gifted and talented education

Copies of the Newsletter can be downloaded from the column on the right.
