Description
In October 2008, Del Siegle, then President of NAGC, appointed a workgroup to update, define, and refine the generic terminology of gifted education and giftedness—no small undertaking. Over the following 18 months, this workgroup of 15 experienced persons developed a new definition of giftedness that was approved as a formal position paper by the NAGC Board of Directors in March 2010. In this session, discuss this redefinition and likely implications for the field of gifted and talented education. Learn the component parts of the definition and discuss their relevance for the field in terms of identifying, serving, and advocating for gifted learners.
No items are available for this session.
