Bright and Beyond offers a range of services to help your
gifted children and students to soar:

Services for Families & Caregivers

Parents of gifted children and adolescents often need support to navigate parenting. Parents often require assistance to access appropriate education, and help to understand the unique and sometimes challenging behaviours and emotions of their gifted children and adolescents.

 

It takes a village to raise a gifted child. You don't have to do it on your own. We are here to help.

Services for Teachers & Schools

Bright and Beyond offers a range of services to teachers and schools grounded in research-based best-practice.

These include:

  • bespoke professional learning in all areas of Gifted Education for individual teachers through to whole staff;

  • program auditing and strategic planning;

  • Action Research coaching;

  • bespoke program design and delivery;

  • mentoring.

Services for Children & Adolescents

Gifted students require qualitatively different learning opportunities. Bright and Beyond offers tuition for highly, exceptionally and profoundly gifted students, to support and extend their interests and learning needs.

Bright and Beyond also offers 1:1 mentoring sessions for highly+ gifted students. These sessions may take the form of managing tricky behaviours such as big emotions, perfectionism, and procrastination.

Why engage with Bright & Beyond?

At Bright and Beyond we know that gifted and high potential students require specialised support in order for them to fly and achieve their potential. Through our three tiered approach we are able to support the family, the student and the school to succeed.

 

Sadly, we know that many gifted children and adolescents do not achieve to their potential. Without knowledge of Gifted Education it is easy to misunderstand the needs of gifted people. Misunderstandings can lead to underachievement, behavioural problems, misdiagnoses, social problems, and emotional issues.

 

Our highly trained and experienced consultants provide you with the tools and strategies to help you to understand the unique needs of your children or students to help them fly.

We also understand that not all school leaders are trained in Gifted Education and need guidance to implement Gifted Education successfully. Bright and Beyond has supported many schools through auditing, bespoke program design, instructional and growth coaching, and whole-school professional learning. It's what we love to do!

Gifted Education Trained & Experienced Consultant

Our Principal Consultant and business owner, Helen Baber, is a highly experienced Gifted Education professional and leader with over thirty years in Education. 

Testimonials

I cannot recommend Helen highly enough! We were floundering in trying to understand what our highly gifted children needed, and what we could reasonably expect our school to do for them. Helen was incredibly warm and reassuring. As a parent of gifted children herself, she understood our feelings of frustration and anxiety around schooling for our kids. As an educator of many years, Helen was also able to talk to our school in a language they understood.

 

Helen definitely knows her stuff, and was able to advise on where our kids were at, and make appropriate recommendations for them going forward.

 

We absolutely felt like we could trust Helen with the most important little people in our lives!
