TAGT Leadership Conference 2025

Did you recently come into a leadership position for a districtwide G/T program? Unsure where to start? Come develop a three-year action plan covering topics such as: state plan compliance, paths to improved identification practices, and teacher G/T PD.

Gifted education has many models describing best-practice curriculum but few models describing best-practice instruction. Participants will consider a model containing four interrelated cornerstone skills. Combined, they ensure that teachers of gifted students can make needed adjustments for gifted students regardless of curriculum. A helpful foundation for planning professional learning!

If you believe an argument without data is an opinion, this session is for you. Join us as we explore how one district uses data to evaluate the effectiveness of its G/T programming on student growth and CCMR outcomes. Leave with spreadsheets and data dashboards you can use tomorrow.

Explore the four arguments presented in Brandon Wright's Fordham publication, "Think Again: Are Education Programs for High Achievers Inherently Inequitable?" Gain clarity on each argument and the recommendations to address them. Engage in Socratic dialogue with peers following a brief introduction of the paper's key points and associated works.
