This was such a great event to come to as a brand new Gifted teacher. We really had zero direction when starting up our program, so this was so helpful!

Heather

Teacher

I’m really rethinking my definition of gifted. I’m thinking about the way we identify gifted children and local norms and everything that goes along with that.

Amy

Teacher

I’m grateful to have the opportunity to hear directly from experts in the field of gifted education. Learning about the latest research findings and expert insights helps inform my teaching practices, allowing me to better serve my students.

I really enjoyed the whole conference. I loved collaborating with new and familiar faces! My favorite sessions were those who had high energy, great modeling and practical takeaways to use right away in the classroom!

Brandy

I enjoyed all the sessions and I am planning on watching the recordings of other sessions that I wanted to attend.

Adriana

Teacher

As a first time attendee, I left energized with fresh ideas to motivate as well as support the social and emotional needs of my gifted learners.

Lisa

Teacher

The conference was time well spent! I plan to convey much of the information to my co-workers when I return to school through PD. It's always so refreshing and revitalizing to learn from the leaders in our discipline and each other! Thank you for a great experience!

Robert

Teacher

All of the speakers and breakout sessions were full of amazing information and resources. However, the passion everyone expressed for their subjects and for gifted children is what made this conference unique. I am new to the field of teaching but seeing people share their knowledge to other information hungry teachers was awesome. Thank you to everyone involved.

I always come away with something new and exciting.

Cynthia

Teacher

It is always refreshing to attend the conference. To be surrounded by a quirky and dedicated set of educators. It's my favorite time of the year.

Jessie

Teacher

This was such a comprehensive conference! You have it all! Anchoring to the “WHY” we support gifted students, addressing the myths and barriers, and providing solutions and hacks to improving gifted education was non-stop! Keynotes and breakout sessions were all top notch! Can’t wait for next year!

Jennifer

Gifted Coordinator

I love the opportunity to be immersed in all things gifted every year with individuals that share that same passion. It always inspires, reignites, and helps me reframe. Thank you, AAGT!

Vicki

Gifted Coordinator

I always come away from the AAGT conference re-invigorated and re-energized to work with my gifted students! Thanks for another great event!

Jennifer

Teacher

I learned a lot about gifted students. It was very informative. I am ready to share with the other teachers. I thought I knew about gifted students, but I realized that I needed to learn more.

Nedre

District Coordinator

This has been on my bucket list for years. I am so proud to be among amazing educators in our state and valued hearing from all of the people who are advocating for our children in the state.

Amanda

District Coordinator

I always appreciate senators and legislators being involved.

Laura

I always come away from the conference with renewed inspiration and a desire to do what I can to help strengthen our gifted program at our schools as well as the education of all our students

The speakers and presenters were exceptional. Now to go forth and do something with all that I learned!

The range of topics discussed was impressive and I look forward to watching the on demand sessions and the recordings of the sessions I missed.
