NZCGE has built up expertise around ensuring depth and complexity is present in learning for gifted students and now specialises in offering PLD workshops that facilitate learning with Kaplan’s Depth and Complexity Framework. We are collaborating with JTaylor Education to ensure quality PLD true to the Depth and Complexity Framework and tailored to the application within the New Zealand Curriculum and School context.
"It is all very well to want depth and complexity but when you empower the students to understand those concepts in a practical way for themselves, you are much more likely to achieve them!"

Just as schools look to the RTLB service for advice and support for students with learning and behaviour difficulties, so too can NZCGE provide advice and support to schools and teachers when they have a particular gifted and talented student they would like some targeted support for. NZCGE Consultancy Facilitators are able to help educators identify and determine need and can help to establish and review a personalised plan for learning.
With many years of experience supporting educators to better identify and cater for their gifted and talented learners, we specialise in the provision of flexible and tailored professional learning and development, responsive to the specific needs of each school and educator that we work with.
Professional Learning and Development support can range from whole school in-depth PLD to an hour of “just in time” advice and support for a Lead Teacher, and everything in between.
“While they shared their knowledge and expertise they were also was very mindful of our school culture, so it feels very special and unique the way we have integrated this into our setting. I would rate NZCGE highly in terms of their ability to determine your need and tailor a package to suit, the quality of professional advice and resourcing, the level of professionalism, and value for money.” AP large urban full primary school.
