Our founder and director Lineke van Tricht, together with Lianne Hoogeveen, Marlies Tierens, and Birgit Broekhoven published an article in the Spring edition of ECHA News about the CEOS project: ‘Creating equal opportunities at school: Empowering students from less-advantaged backgrounds through teaching academic language.’
This summer the ECHA-conference takes place in The Hague from August 31st to September 3rd 2022. As always, Bureau Talent will attend the conference, on the one hand, to acquire the newest insights in the are of giftedness and, on the other hand to also share our knowledge and insights with our colleagues from all over Europe (and beyond).
Bureau Talent would like to contribute to equal opportunities in gifted education. In our Erasmus+ project Creating Equal Opportunities at School, we developed an academic language curriculum with our international partners because gifted students from less advantaged families often lack the right vocabulary to convert their cognitive talent into good educational results. But there is more to do.
Design Thinking is a human-centered design method. It offers plenty of opportunities for teachers to create interesting enrichment tasks and for pupils to work on 21st-century skills. In the two Erasmus+ programmes Bureau Talent was involved in we trained teachers, both in Dutch and in English, to work with Design Thinking. Since we believe in practise what you preach, the training itself is also based on the principles of Design Thinking. This means that the teachers go through the Design Thinking process themselves, so they literally experience it.
ECHA stands for European Council for High Ability and one of its activities is training people in the field of Gifted Education. The ECHA training has a scientific base and is geared to practical situations, in and outside school. The ECHA-specialists in Gifted Education in the Netherlands are united in the ECHA Association. ECHA also organises biennial conferences on the topic of Gifted Education.
