Kintara Phillips is an experienced educator with over 20 years in the profession. Her desire to contribute more and her passion for teaching meant her career has changed many ways to include a Masters in Gifted Education, lecturing and managing placements for tertiary institutions and building her own consultative firm to teach and mentor gifted students that aren't suited to a standard classroom environment.

Kintara's knowledge and experience is vast - being fortunate enough to have her on the podcast, I ask about how her career led to Gifted Education as a discipline, some practical tips and professional development for teachers looking to improve for gifted students and an important update on the state of placements for pre-service teachers as the pandemic persists. Kintara's story is an inspiring one!
