Recent reports from Estyn have identified that 20% of learners can be considered as more able and talented. During this course, teachers and teaching assistants will learn how to identify and support more able and talented pupils. We will explore practical ideas for adapting existing classroom practice to ensure that pupils are constantly being stretched and challenged whilst remaining motivated, engaged and on task.
