Statewide Support and Connection

Our strength is in our community. AAGT board members live and work all over Arizona and are ready to be your “boots on the ground” when you need guidance or resources. For educators in rural communities, our Rural Network ensures you are never working in isolation. We are also actively building our Affiliate Network for families so no matter where you are, you have a place to connect. Interested in starting an affiliate in your district or town, learn more here.

Looking Ahead

We have big plans for the next three years to expand our reach, provide more professional development and create resources that make a difference in classrooms and homes across the state.

During these uncertain times your membership is one of the most impactful ways to ensure we can keep showing up for Arizona’s gifted students, their families and the educators who support them.

Let’s make this school year one where gifted learners thrive together.
