Two representatives from NJDOE, Leslie Franks-McRae and Cierra Belin, joined NJAGC at our annual conference on Friday, March 21 2021 to share gifted updates from the state. You can view their presentation below:
NJAGC Advocates and Educational Leaders from across our State are hard at work with the NJ Department of Education. The Strengthening Gifted and Talented Education Act Committee (SGTEAC) was established representing 19 of 21 counties and comprised of over 60 participants including parents, teachers, supervisors, principals, superintendents, and leaders from the county and state offices of the NJDOE. SGTEAC has been working collaboratively since the Spring of 2020 with five established subcommittees are meeting virtually to help provide resources for implementing the law, identification, services and programs for gifted students, professional development, and the intersectionality of cognitive and affective needs of gifted students. See the slides below for more detailed information about the subcommittees and their work.
For more information, please contact NJAGC's VP of Advocacy, Michelle Falanga, at advocacy@njagc.org.
Are you wondering what types of resources SGTEAC has been working on over the past year?
