TAGT Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Access Network
The TAGT Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Access Network aims to address systemic racism and issues of intersectionality and equity in gifted and talented education to impact anti-racist practices, structures, and policies for all culturally diverse children and educators. You’re invited to join educators from diverse backgrounds and their allies in one of several upcoming networking/community-building events online this year. The TAGT Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Access Network is open to all educators (classroom, pre-service, district leaders), in Texas and beyond. Participants do not have to be members of TAGT to join the network. Sponsored by ThinkLaw
