NAGC works to support those who enhance the growth and development of gifted and talented children through education, advocacy, community building, and research
The NAGC Board of Directors is pleased to announce the launch of NAGC’s new strategic plan. Created through a deliberative process that included input from leaders across the Association and field, this plan builds on our previous work with overarching goals and objectives that we will work toward accomplishing during the next three years.
With all the recent disruptions educators and families have experienced, it’s more important than ever to address the many challenges faced by gifted children and the field of gifted and talented education. The landscape of gifted and talented education continues to shift and evolve, and so too must NAGC in order to meet the needs of its members and ensure that all gifted children are served equitably and have the support that they need.
The 2022-2025 Strategic Plan is the result of countless hours of conversations, research, and collaboration among NAGC leaders, members, staff, and other stakeholders. It outlines five major goals we wish to achieve: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Connecting Research and Practice, Community, Center of Expertise, and Advocacy, each with accompanying objectives:
A Town Hall was held with leaders in July to share information on the development of the plan and the progress to date. You can watch the recording of the Town Hall through the link below.

NAGC will be focused on these goals and on developing innovative new programs and initiatives to address the pressing issues faced by gifted and talented children, their families, and the field of gifted and talented education. By working together, we will be able to empower all who support children with advanced abilities in accessing equitable opportunities that develop their gifts and talents and works towards achieving our vision of all children having the opportunities and support to realize their full potential.
