Gifted Education 101: Why It Belongs in Every Teacher's Toolbox

ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice draws on the 2024 National Association for Gifted Children report, Universal Educator Preparation in Gifted Education, to explore the case for training all educators to understand and meet the needs of gifted and talented students. The report highlights systemic gaps in teacher preparation that leave many advanced learners unsupported, contributing to the Excellence Gap and inequities in gifted programming. By equipping teachers, counselors, and administrators with foundational training in gifted education, we can foster inclusive, equitable classrooms that benefit every learner. Tune in to discover how supporting gifted students can positively impact education for all.
