How big is the vision for gifted education at your school? Would you describe it as a little tweak here, and a touch of differentiation over there? A celebration or two, a spring product fair, and an emotional support club. Better yet, perhaps your vision is grandiose, life changing, transformational. What does that even look like? Whether you are newer to the field or have been rethinking your approach to giftedness and talent development for more than a decade, the common goal is exceptional performance and student flourishing. Join with your peers in this time of challenging assumptions about gifted education and imagining programs that are just a little audacious in scope and outcomes.

This closing session will include updates to the State Plan and what they mean for your district as well as a review of policy related to G/T, such as Texas Administrative Code to make sure everyone has a thorough understanding of what guides your identification processes, programs, and services.  Structured working groups will be available to determine what your next steps are as you head back to your office and where you can locate the resources you need.
