Dear All,
I am pleased to inform you that the Hon Tracey Martin, Acting Minister of Education has released today the draft Disability and Learning Support Action Plan.
This plan has great news for the gifted education community as it formally includes our gifted learners as a group of learners who often need a different pathway to reach meaningful success.
You can find Minister Martin’s press release here:
The draft plan is also available as a PDF at the link above.
The draft plan covers four priority areas:
· improving the way children and young people are assessed for additional learning needs
· strengthening the range of supports for children and young people with disabilities and additional learning needs
· improving the way the education system responds to neurodiverse learners and gifted learners, and
· ensuring that learning support is resourced for increased support and delivery.
Consultation on the draft Action Plan begins next week, and will run until 31 October.
Please download the pdf and feel free to email us back any questions you may like to have answered.
We will be in touch when a more formal channel of feedback is requested.
Kind regards
Deb Walker
Project Leader
Gifted Aotearoa
