AAGT Launches 2025–2028 Strategic Plan: A Bold Vision for Arizona’s Gifted Community

The Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented (AAGT) is thrilled to share our 2025–2028 Strategic Plan — a roadmap built on connection, collaboration, and creativity.

This plan reflects months of discussion, dreaming, and prioritizing by our Board of Directors and staff, with guidance from Avenir Consulting and support from our friends at The Square PHX, who graciously hosted our August retreat. Together, we looked at where AAGT has been, where we are now, and where we want to go as an organization that proudly serves educators, families, and students across Arizona.

Our new plan focuses on four key areas:

• Educators: Expanding access to professional development, leadership, and gifted endorsement opportunities.

• Families: Creating inclusive programming, community connections, and accessible resources statewide.

• Students: Amplifying student voice through leadership opportunities, mentorship programs, and student-designed projects.

• Infrastructure: Strengthening AAGT’s foundation through sustainability, partnerships, and technology.

We’re especially excited to introduce the Student Network Task Force, which will help shape new programs and provide gifted students the opportunity to serve as Student Ambassadors — ensuring their voices are heard, valued, and reflected in everything we do.

Our new plan also includes measurable goals and oversight to ensure accountability as we bring each initiative to life. From “quick wins” to long-term opportunities, every step we take will move AAGT closer to its mission: advocating for the diverse population of gifted and talented students in Arizona.

Join Us on the Journey

AAGT is a community-driven organization — and your involvement matters. As we move into this next phase, we invite our members and partners to share feedback, get involved, and even consider joining us as an At-Large Board Member or Task Force Volunteer.

Together, we’ll continue to ensure that every gifted learner in Arizona is seen, heard, and served.
