One of the missions of the Academy is to facilitate the professional development of teachers and school administrators in the identification and support of gifted students within school context. To do so, the Academy and the Education Bureau jointly established the New Teacher Professional Framework in Gifted Education in February 2012. Our Academy continues to provide a comprehensive series of teacher learning events, covering a wide range of topics, to support teachers and school administrators in meeting the needs of gifted students.
