What is Beyond IQ?
Practical gifted education training for the adults around gifted students.
Beyond IQ helps teachers, school leaders and parents understand what giftedness really looks like, so the students who are easy to miss finally get noticed and supported.
Workshops are built on case studies and classroom strategies your team can use the next day. Join a focused session that fits your needs, or arrange a whole-staff training day.
If you don't understand what you're seeing, you can't support it.
Training for teachers
Three practical sessions on understanding, identifying and differentiating for gifted and high-potential learners.
Whole-staff training
Bring the whole team on board, in person or online, so everyone in the school speaks the same language.
Workshops for parents
A live session that helps parents understand what giftedness looks like at home and how to work with the school.
Recorded sessions
Every workshop is recorded and sent to all participants, so no one on your team misses out.
The Beyond IQ framework
From noticing a gifted student to knowing what to do next.
Every Beyond IQ workshop follows the same four movements. They are the reason training changes what happens the next morning.
Understand. 01
Understand.
Giftedness is more complex than high grades or finishing first. Understand the academic, social and emotional needs of gifted students.
Identify. 02
Identify.
Learn to recognise the learners who are obvious, and the ones who are easier to miss.
Support. 03
Support.
Learn how to implement practical and simple tools to support these students in a regular classroom setting.
Challenge. 04
Challenge.
Provide learning experiences that genuinely stretch students who need more challenge, choice, and connection.
Understand.Identify.Support.Challenge.
That's the work of Beyond IQ.
Watch
The myths and stereotypes that surround gifted students.
Why so many gifted students are missed, and what changes once staff know what to look for.
LET'S GET PRACTICAL
School team training
Each session is a three-hour training, practical from the first minute, built on case studies and strategies your team can use straight away. Choose one session to address an immediate priority, or combine all three into a structured professional-learning series.
- 01
Understanding Giftedness
Recognising the unique needs and challenges of gifted students, including their social, emotional and academic needs and understanding the multiple dimensions of giftedness.
- 02
Students Who Fly Under the Radar
Understanding the characteristics of pupils who don't meet the 'fixed' definition of giftedness but show high potential and aptitude: highly creative pupils, twice-exceptional pupils and gifted girls.
- 03
Practical Differentiation Strategies for Gifted Students
Learning how to adapt and implement simple curriculum modifications to meet the needs of your advanced students.

What happens after the training matters most.
“Lihi renewed and strengthened our school’s focus on talented and highly gifted students significantly. Her workshop with teaching staff was of very high quality, enabling our teachers to familiarise themselves with the latest research and to learn about practical implications they could implement easily into their daily practice.”

About
Meet Lihi Engelsman.
I used to assume gifted students would simply do well. The more I studied gifted education, the more I realised how much adults can miss when we only look for high achievement.
