What gifted students need from the adults around them.

Where to begin
What are you looking for?
Build your knowledge of gifted education
Understand how to recognise, support and appropriately challenge gifted and high-potential learners through practical, research-informed training.
Challenge your gifted students
Bring meaningful challenge, choice and connection to gifted and high-potential students through a complete enrichment program led by a teacher in your school.
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. Take a single session, a whole-staff training day, or the three-part Teacher Workshop Series.
If you don't understand what you're seeing, you can't support it.
Workshops 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.

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.

See what happens when provision follows understanding.
Limitless is Beyond IQ's ready-to-teach enrichment program. The short film shows students, teachers and parents describing what changed once gifted provision became part of the school week.
