Description
What are the conceptual foundations of gifted education? How can Pre-K-12 gifted facilitators develop mission statements that become the backbone of gifted programs responding directly to the needs of high-ability learners? During this session participants view film clips from the NAGC Legacy Series to evaluate the degree to which the conceptual foundations of the field mirror their own and district beliefs about giftedness and gifted students and develop or strengthen an effective mission statement for gifted programs. In the second breakout session, attendees embed principles of creative thinking that prepare gifted learners for the 21st century into their mission statement and program goals.
