In the summer of 2020, NAGC issued a statement denouncing systemic racism and supporting racial justice. This was followed by an enhanced vision statement and action plan to guide the Association’s efforts to confront systemic racism and advance equity, Championing Equity and Supporting Social Justice for Black Students in Gifted Education: An Expanded Vision for NAGC.
Over the subsequent months, the Board of Directors, staff, and several groups within NAGC engaged in conversations, reflection, education, and outreach around this “Expanded Vision” and plan of action, and related initiatives. We'd like to provide an update on our progress.
