Giftedness is a greater awareness, a greater sensitivity, and a greater ability to
understand and transform perceptions into intellectual and emotional experiences.

Subject: Higher Ed Act Title II Grants
Now is the time! For the first time, language has been added requiring grant applicants to specify how they will train teacher candidates to learn how to identify the needs of gifted students and to differentiate instruction to meet those needs. In addition to considering whether you might apply, also consider that this amounts to up to $35 to $40 million dollars worth of grant funding required to add a focus on our population of children.
Thanks to Jane Clarenbach for all her continued efforts over the years.
HEA Title II Grants
The Teacher Quality Partnership Grants under the Higher Ed Act are now available.

Advocating on behalf of Gifted and Talented Learners
NAGC created the Legislative Action Network (LAN) to raise awareness about the needs of gifted children and influence federal policy decisions. When you join the LAN, you will help to advocate for gifted and talented children during these difficult economic times. Our goal is to achieve a high quality education for all gifted children, and increase federal resources on their behalf. To be successful, Members of Congress need to hear from you, their constituents, about these important issues.
