Professional Academy

The aim of the Professional Academy was to work with schools to enable them to provide better education for gifted and talented youngsters than would otherwise be possible. In the long run, they aimed for a situation where as much emphasis and thought would be given to the education of gifted students as it was to people with special educational needs. The Academy attempted to achieve these aims through the use of teacher training and publications.
