Mini-COGE
This is a booking page for the Mini-COGE Online on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 - Thursday, October 30, 2025
The Mini-COGE provides practical professional development for educators to support high potential and gifted students. High potential students are not necessarily high achievers; we focus on how to engage and support these students to reach their potential.
The Mini-COGE will help you to;
- identify gifted, high potential and talented students;
- differentiate the curriculum for high potential students;
- implement ability grouping or acceleration;
- understand gifted education research and best practices; and
- develop an existing (or create a new) unit of work to best suit the needs of the differentiated classroom and gifted students.
This program is 2-day event that starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM each day.
The UNSW School of Education is a NESA approved PD provider.
