Filling the Gap: Universal Educator Preparation in Gifted Education

You’re invited to join your education colleagues for Filling the Gap: Universal Educator Preparation in Gifted Education, sponsored by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) and hosted by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), January 26, 2026, in Washington, DC. This invitational colloquium will gather nationally recognized educators, policy makers, and practitioners in conversation about the need for educator preparation that provides teachers with evidence-based practices they need to appropriately recognize gifted students' characteristics, address their learning needs, or identify who would benefit from specialized programming. RSVPs are required by January 12.

Please note, although NAGC and AFT will cover most expenses, participants are required to pay for their own travel costs. NAGC will provide a link to a discounted hotel rate to attendees by early December.
