Master Class
GERRIC Master Classes in Gifted
GERRIC’s one-day Master Classes are open to teachers or school administrators who have already completed at least 16 hours of training or professional development in gifted education: e.g., a component of a university course, Strand 1 and 2 of GERRIC’s Certificate of Gifted Education, or substantial PD/inservice attendance.
Master Classes are led by Australian or overseas presenters who are experts in their field. Master Classes have no assessment component and cannot be counted towards a UNSW degree; however it may be possible for students enrolled in MEd studies at UNSW to develop an EDST5888 research project built around issues addressed in a Master Class which they have attended.
