How does a table topic session work?
The table topics are a selection of relevant gifted and talented topics designed for group discussion. In some cases the table topic will be lead by a lead facilitator and some by a discussion facilitator. The key to table topic discussion is you, your participation in discussion and extended professionality in gifted education. We want to provide the space and time for open, respectful and professional dialogue between passionate stakeholders. ||
 * The purpose of the table topic sessions is to provide structured time within the symposium that encourages open dialogue and engagement. The regional symposium is focussed on providing opportunities for professional sharing and dialogue.
