To facilitate a statewide communications network to implement these goals.

A winning advocacy approach harnesses the power of three: self, school, system.
Join our panel of Maryland experts as they share winning strategies for:
Self-advocacy: Teaching gifted and talented learners to advocate for themselves empowers them to effectively pursue practical alternatives to the status quo.
School-based advocacy: Parents and caregivers need to know effective ways to communicate their child’s unique needs and possible solutions to classroom teachers and school administrators.
System-based advocacy: GT Education policy and funding is fundamentally local. Learn ways you can inform and influence decisions made by your local Board of Education.
