Support of the Gifted in the South Moravian Region
Support of the Gifted in the South Moravian Region
We would like to acquaint you with the iKAP JMK II project and its activity, which is dedicated to supporting the education of gifted pupils in the South Moravian Region. It deals mainly with the issue of identifying gifted students. All contributions of the inaugural conference are publicly available online. Subtitles to the conference presentations, including annotations, in English, are provided with for our foreign partners.
Activities are aimed at supporting the development of gifted pupils, for example by supporting primary and secondary schools, and teachers in their education, counselling, hobby activities or a mentoring network. We plan to support teachers in their efforts in developing students' talents through educational activities, workshops or joint sharing. We will also meet gifted students in addition to identifying the level of talent, and offer them a mentoring network of experts, development activities or information support.
There are 6 key activities we are dealing with:
1. Counselling centre for gifted students, parents and teachers
2. Network of methodologists for the development of care for the gifted
3. Education of pedagogical staff
4. Activities to support the development of talents in students
5. Prescreening the rates of giftedness at 4th grade of primary school students
6. Foreign experts
