About Us
Our Vision
We envision a time when all students,
including gifted and talented students, are given an appropriate
educational experience that matches their abilities and potentials,
where there is ample opportunity for their intellectual challenge
and growth, and those who work with them are adequately trained to
appreciate, understand, and nurture their unique talents.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide an organization for
Educators, Psychologists, Parents, Policy Makers, Administrators and
others to learn about the unique educational and affective needs of
gifted and talented children and how to meet these needs effectively
in our schools, families, and communities. It recognizes that gifted
children come from all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and
have diverse abilities and interests.
