Program planning tools for teachers
| Tools | Description | How to use this tool |
| Planning matrix (pdf 33kb) | This matrix helps to identify where the school is currently placed when considering Gifted Education issues. | The use of this matrix is beneficial in promoting discussion within the school community. |
| Gifted and Talented action planners (doc 116kb) | This document has been written to assist schools in the implementation of the NSW Gifted and Talented (GAT) Policy. | Because planning usually begins from a point of already having some form of gifted and talented education provision, completely new plans are unnecessary in many schools. The examples of pro formas are designed to give structure to the planning process. |
| Quality Teaching in NSW public schools (doc 124kb) | This table provides elaboration on the Quality Teaching elements. | The focus questions for each of the elements of the NSW model of pedagogy can be used to assist teachers when they are reflecting on the quality of a lesson, a series of lessons or a unit of work. |
| Quality Teaching and curriculum planning (doc 292kb) | The development of quality curriculum and teaching and learning activities suited to gifted and talented students depends on an understanding of their needs, characteristics and interests. | The purpose of this document is to explore how the NSW Quality Teaching model might be used to inform curriculum, assessment and teaching practice for gifted and talented students. |
