Letter from the TAGT President

Dear TAGT Community,

As another school year begins, it always brings a unique mix of anticipation, possibility, and renewed commitment to the students we serve.

In every classroom across our state, students arrive with incredible potential and with the expectation that the adults in their lives will recognize, challenge, and inspire them. You know better than anyone that this work requires more than curriculum; it demands curiosity, creativity, and a belief in the transformative power of learning tailored to each child’s strengths and needs.

TAGT is here to partner with you in that mission. Whether you are seeking fresh strategies, a deeper understanding, or a supportive network of colleagues, TAGT offers a variety of opportunities where you can be empowered and connected.

Thank You Partners in Gifted Education
