The purpose of the NJAGC 2024 conference is to learn how to Advocate for Joyful Growth in the gifted and talented program. Families, students and educators can work together to enhance the education of gifted learners. Attendees will learn ways to design, sustain and celebrate school systems, structures and practices that support the diverse needs of gifted learners. Adding joy and fulfillment in gifted programs enriches the educational experience of students. Strategies for developing gifted programming, implementing best practices in the gifted classroom, coaching colleagues, connecting with parents, and building lasting community relationships will be discussed.

The conference will provide opportunities for classroom teachers, principals, curriculum supervisors and guidance counselors to gain insight into gifted students’ educational and social-emotional needs, and to support all those responsible for educating the gifted child. Sessions will also address New Jersey’s law around gifted education, the Strengthening Gifted and Talented Education Act.
