A Resource for Gifted Education

Our staff members have shared their expertise as gifted specialists at National Association for Gifted Children conferences in Denver and Orlando, Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented conferences,  literacy-based conferences in Denver, and local conferences such as the Black Educator's Network Conference. Our sessions provided valuable professional development for other educations on topics such as the use of Hess' Rigor Matrices in the classroom, the gifted identification process for students in talent areas such as Performing Arts, Dance, Visual Arts, and Psychomotor giftedness, using reader's and writer's workshop formats for gifted learners in multi-age classrooms, portfolio-based identification practices for young learners, trauma-informed support of gifted learners, support for twice-exceptional learners, and many others.

We have worked with families on their parenting journeys by leading book studies, hosting workshops, and offering expert-led talks to support their needs as well.

Our staff has collaborated with educators of gifted students around the world, members of the Child-Centered Gifted Consortium, and the Gifted Development Center, to develop a definition of child-centered gifted education.

It is this definition of giftedness that grounds us in this work in service of gifted learners.
