Gifted & Talented Specialist Network

Each school serves a diverse population of learners with varying strengths, interests, and academic needs. Educators have a shared responsibility to ensure rigorous and engaging learning opportunities for all students. The Gifted/Talented (G/T) Network brings educators together to collaborate on best practices related to identification tools, program development, instructional strategies, and resource sharing. This network is designed to support those guiding the learning of students whose academic needs extend beyond the core curriculum.
