The two-day National Association for Gifted Education Conference just wrapped up in Denver. The conference was sponsored by the National Association of Gifted Children and brought together stakeholders in gifted education to address the unique challenges and barriers to serving high-ability students.
Presentations included "Supporting Gifted and High-Potential Learners in a Common Core State Standards Environment." and "Gifted Leading the Way: National Priorities and Opportunities for Action." among others.
For a thorough summary and play by play action of the conference, visit Education Week's blog "Unwrapping the Gifted." It's almost as good as being there!
