The YOUR BREAKTHROUGH (YBT) project seeks to improve the educational practices carried out with high abilities students in school, mainly in Primary and Secondary, providing them with enriching attention, adequately accompanying their growth and favouring the development of their potential.
Our society currently faces a significant lack of teacher training in this aspect, a certain heterogeneity in terms of legislation and diagnosis between different countries and educational systems, as well as a limitation of resources and measures for daily work with highly gifted students.
This represents a real challenge for the educational system and our society, therefore, YBT will assist and provide tools to all those agents who work with these students, facilitating the detection, monitoring and support of high abilities, in turn providing training to the teachers involved in their education, to the Guidance Departments and Management Teams, in a way that allows them to improve the management of their center in this aspect, without forgetting the rest of the students.
The development of interactive resources and creation of spaces for enrichment will be essential in improving attention to high abilities, allowing self-discovery of the talents of children and young people. Likewise, the meeting with students and educational agents from different centers in Europe will undoubtedly provide a broader vision of the reality of educational centers and will facilitate their development and growth at a local, national and international level.
