In het schooljaar 2026-2027 organiseert het Kenniscentrum Hoogbegaafdheid weer international webinars. Tijdens die webinars is Engels de voertaal. Deze webinars zijn bedoeld voor educatieve professionals en zorg- en hulpverleners die beschikken over een brede kennisbasis met betrekking tot hoogbegaafdheid, maar niet over de mogelijkheid beschikken om deel te nemen aan internationale in-person activiteiten zoals grote internationale congressen. Op 15 september 2026 gaf Albert Ziegler het webinar ‘Actiotope model’.
Giftedness is often treated as a quality that a person simply has. The Actiotope Model takes a different view: high achievement develops through the interaction between a person, their goals, their actions, and the opportunities around them. In this webinar, I will explain this idea in practical terms and show how it connects to educational and learning capital—the resources that support development inside and outside the learner. I will also introduce the E³ framework as a way of thinking about how learning environments can help potential grow. The focus will be on examples and implications for schools and teachers.
Albert Ziegler, PhD, is Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and Research on Excellence at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He developed the Actiotope Model of Giftedness and has published approx. 450 works on talent development, learning resources, and mentoring. He is the Founding Director of the World Giftedness Center, Founding Chairman of the European Talent Support Network (ETSN), and immediate Past-Vice-President of ECHA.
