Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) whether there are plans to make resources from the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) available to non-GEP classes where appropriate and when requested by non-GEP teachers; and (b) whether non-GEP teachers across all schools may incorporate elements of the GEP resources and methodology for their non-GEP classes where appropriate.

Response

1. Learning resources used in the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), where appropriate, are made available to non-GEP teachers to be adapted in class. Non-GEP teachers also have access to professional development opportunities where pedagogical approaches similar to those used in the GEP are shared for their use in non-GEP classrooms.
