Happy New Year, all. I hope you found your first week back to school full of excited students waiting to share what they did while away from your class.
This year poses challenges to gifted education, both old and new. As budgets shrink, educational entities across the state grapple with how best to recruit and retain both students and teachers. Nowhere else is this felt more profoundly than in our gifted and talented programs across the state. I confess that I, too, struggle with occasional moments of doubt and concern over our future. However, it is in those moments that I remember what gifted and talented educators do best: innovate.
