Gifted Education Professional Development

 

The Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented (AAGT) host a variety of professional learning events for educators

The goal of the Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented is to advocate, educate, and communicate on behalf of gifted learners in the state of Arizona. AAGT holds three events each year. A state conference in February, Gifted Educator Workshop in the summer, and a Parent Institute in fall.

At these conferences, advocates, parents, researchers, administrators, educators and policy makers join together to understand and support the social, emotional and academic needs of high-potential and high-ability children.  These forums allow attendees to network, exchange experiences, participate in educational sessions and learn from our keynote speakers, while providing parents and educators the tools needed to inspire students to reach their goals.
