Spring Colloquium on Gifted Children

Parents and Educators of Gifted Children are Invited! Join us for a day of guest speakers and discussions on supporting this unique population, and meet with others supporting the gifted community.
This year's Colloquium will offer many exciting presentations for parents and educators alike! Topics focus on relevant and implementable approaches and strategies that benefit gifted learners and honor their various needs, while embracing the concept that ALL sides of gifted children should be supported for them to reach their potential.
