Giftedness, what is that exactly?
The answer to this question, how to deal with it and what pitfalls you encounter in working with gifted children and adults are discussed in detail with humor and guts in this lecture.

Recognizing gifted students is difficult enough, let alone recognizing them and guiding them in the right way. Using scientific information, practical examples, film fragments and interaction, Miss Sofie takes teaching colleagues on a fast track into the world of the gifted child. For example, did you know that skipping classes is a very effective educational intervention for giftedness?

The day after, everyone can start working in the classroom or daycare with more knowledge and practical skills!

Sofie van de Waart is an acclaimed gifted specialist. Not only because of her vast knowledge on the subject, but also because of her drive and passion for students who fall just outside the system. She loves to take school teams, partnerships, childcare and youth professionals into her world of stuck gifted students.

She shares an enormous amount of knowledge on the subject and gives practical tips on how to improve the environment of these students with simple interventions.

You can read about her work in Trouw and Algemeen Dagblad, she is a regular guest on Radio 1 and the documentary Utopie van Sofie can be viewed on NPO.

Sparkling way of presenting

Sofie gave a lecture for the CNV leadership lab on the do's and dont's of a school leader. She knows better than anyone else what a teacher wants from a school leader because of her years of practical experience. In addition, she is theoretically well versed. Moreover, she knows how to constantly captivate the audience and keep their attention with her sparkling way of presenting. Her sense of humor certainly helps with that!

Inspiring support

We would like to thank you immensely for the two inspiring workshops and presentations you gave at our school. The session on giftedness was a real eye-opener for us. With your energetic and refreshing approach you knew how to make complex subjects practical and you gave us very fine insights into the education of gifted students. Our teachers learned a lot from your session and immediately felt more competent and motivated to tackle their lessons. The workshop on opportunity inequality was at least as inspiring. The teachers came out of your presentation full of energy and positivity. Thanks to your workshops, our teachers feel better equipped to support and guide all students, regardless of background, talents or challenges. We look forward to future collaborations and can heartily recommend you to other schools looking for expert and inspiring support. We are fans!
