CONTRIBUTORS

As leaders in gifted education, communicating the value of gifted services and the need for resources and staff to support them can feel both the most important and the most challenging. Recently, data in the TAPR report was further disaggregated to display a filter for G/T students. Luke Hurst, Richardson ISD, will help equip you with practical strategies to leverage this data to tell a compelling, evidence-based story, support advocacy efforts, and strengthen decision-making with district and campus leaders.
