Incentives for Gifted Education

Posted Wed, 04/07/2010 - 10:22 by TracyWeinberg

TAGT will be testifying in two weeks before a legislative committee to discuss ideas for "incentivizing" gifted education.  We hope to promote ways that school districts can be rewarded for providing services above and beyond what is required already by state law.  If you have some ideas about how this can be readily accomplished, we would welcome your thoughts.
