How can I help support and expand gifted education programs in my childs school?
Each October, OAGC holds a conference during which there is a parent fair offering sessions, roundtable discussions, information tables and more. This is a great place to learn about what you can do. Your district may have a parent group which is an affiliate of OAGC. Talk to your school’s gifted coordinator or your OAGC regional contact. The parent division’s affiliate handbook offers information concerning how local parent groups can become affiliates. On the state level, begin by looking at the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) Law and Rule on gifted education. You can get a better understanding of what Ohio says about gifted identification and services and which services are available to your child. This will help you see what you can do to advocate for your child both locally and in the state. On a national level, we suggest you investigate the NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children). They are a wonderful resource.
