Description
The NAGC Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards provide a bright beacon for guiding schools to the harbor of educational excellence. Although we all set our compasses toward this goal, each state is coming from a different point. This presentation maps Georgia’s voyage of using the NAGC standards to aid districts in achieving high quality programming for gifted students across the state. The presenters represent a group of state and district leaders, administrators, and teachers who have worked collaboratively to adapt the national standards to align with the language and political environment currently pervasive in Georgia.
