In this interview, Dr Munro discusses his research and provides insights into gifted learning and talent development in the classroom. He describes how teachers can develop productive classroom environments to thrive and use experiential memory to cultivate teaching expertise. According to Dr Munro, talented outcomes are more likely when teachers position the classroom as a strategic space for students to create intuitive, unique theories about the teaching information and use their metacognition to convert these to talented outcomes. This development is scaffolded by teaching that includes focused formative assessment and knowledge-based differentiated pedagogy.
