Alabama’s annual conference, held in late September each year, brings
together gifted/talented teachers and coordinators, classroom teachers,
school administrators, parents, pre-service teachers, and college/university
faculty to explore current issues in gifted education. Our conference brings
nationally known leaders in the field of gifted education as well as faculty
from Alabama’s college/university gifted programs, and Alabama’s gifted
education teachers together to provide three days of professional
development. Sessions include keynote speeches, one hour sessions on a
variety of practical strategies for teachers and parents, and hands-on
half-day workshops. Vendors offer
a variety of materials and information for
gifted educators and parents.
The annual conference schedule and venue for the next few years is
listed below. Please make your plans to attend this year. You’ll leave with
a head full of ideas and strategies to help you meet the needs of your gifted
learners!
