Prof Ching-Chih KuoDear Members and Friends of the APFG, The APFG focuses on gifted and talented individuals in the Asia-Pacific region and their valuable contributions to humanity. Special education administrators, scholars, and teachers in gifted and talented education, special education, psychology, and other fields join with dedicated parents and graduate students to support the APFG's mission. The APFG diligently fulfills the commitments outlined in the Bangkok Declaration, approved on August 16, 2002, and consistently works to improve the development and education of gifted and talented individuals in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific Federation on Giftedness (APFG) proudly presents guidelines on eight selected topics that can inform the efforts of teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in supporting the education of gifted students in the Asia-Pacific region. These guidelines are prepared by the 2022–2024 Executive Committee of the APFG and cover topics related to understanding characteristics and adaptation problems of gifted students; embracing creativity; working with disadvantaged gifted; parenting gifted students; providing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; nurturing the development of twice-exceptional students; promoting well-being; and fostering career development. We hope these guidelines are relevant, timely, and useful. Please see attached for details. Thank you. https://reurl.cc/nvz9mD Best regards, Jae Yup Jung, Mantak Yuen, & Ching-Chih Kuo |
