Welcome to our newest local chapter, The East Metro Alliance for Gifted Education (EMAGE).
Happy New Year from GAGC! We have a very busy new year ahead of us!
As gifted education educators are working diligently toward implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) leadership felt a sense of urgency to respond to the CCSS vis-a-vis gifted learners.
Registration is now open for Torrance Test of Creative Thinking Scoring Workshops.
NAGC sent us the following information regarding the 2010-2011 media campaign to raise awareness of the needs of gifted children and GAGC will follow-up; however, we wanted to share this information with anyone interested in this special population.
Who Are the Gifted in Georgia?
Gifted Student - a student who demonstrates a high degree of intellectual and/or creative ability(ies), exhibits an exceptionally high degree of motivation, and/or excels in specific academic fields, and who needs special instruction and/or special ancillary services to achieve at levels commensurate with his or her abilities. (SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38, p. 1)
The mission of the Georgia Association for Gifted Children is to advocate for gifted children and youth by working with educators, parents, policy-makers, and the community to meet the needs of the gifted.
