#LeadLAP Q2: I’m excited to hear more questions from my teammates and other teachers about what I learned from attending the #NAGC24 conference. They want to focus more on reaching their gifted and advanced learners. This could be the start of a new chapter for my school.
Image of a story shared on Instagram from a user with the username thegiftedgarden. The background is a light sage green and the text on the image shows the words: NAGC Seattle 2024 Takeaway #3 Emily Kircher-Morris What's good for neurodivergent kids is good for all kids. Below these words is an image of a photo with the poster and Emily Kircher-Morris. A caption at the bottom of the story says "Emily Kircher-Morris was the one person I had to see at NAGC and she did not disappoint..." before cutting off the caption.
Love this! ❤️
One of the attendees from some of my sessions at the #nagc24 conference made this image from one of my sessions.
I stand by this statement! 😂
"What's good for neurodivergent kids is good for all kids."

Fun seeing more into the state of gifted education from a stellar mix of teachers, practitioners and researchers at #NAGC24. I'd love to see more conferences that juggle profession and scholarship like it
When you come back from a conference and your mind is racing with ideas of new research and projects to do!
Thanks, #NAGC24
I was told by a prominent researcher in the field of #gifted at #NAGC24 that we should set our identification local norms at a percentile equal to the resources we have.
So, set your local norms to 95% if you can only afford to provide adv. opportunities to 5% of your students.
Thoughts?
Interesting results of a study were shared at #NAGC24 detailing parent perspectives of #gifted…
63% of parents (77priv/62pub)say advanced academic classes are important
55% (68priv/54pub) would either extremely, very or s/what likely move schools if adv classes were eliminated

I loved #NAGC24 and all of the learning and thought-provoking sessions, but I am so incredibly happy to return home to this person (and our way too hyper ginger cat, Aria and our covid cat, Aloy)
Loved getting to be on a panel over local norms and universal screening with such amazing colleagues. #NAGC24

“What do we teach our students that goes past the classroom?” Think about it in terms of a review. How do we create learning experiences that would earn a 5 star review?” Justin Mitchell #NAGC24 #NAGCGIFTED #EduSky
“In the gifted classroom, if the kids are never struggling, we’re doing something wrong. They need productive struggle.” Andi McNair #NAGC24 #NAGCGIFTED #EduSky
“We’re training our brains as if we’re trying to run a marathon. We can’t run the whole thing right away. We have train each day” Stephanie Higgs #NAGC24 #EduSky
Excited to see what @brianhousand.bsky.social, Andi McNair, Justin Mitchell, Stephanie Higgs cook up for building creativity! #NAGC24 #NAGCGIFTED #EduSky

It has been a great conference! #NAGC24
If I’ve said it once…. Anyway, #NAGC24 has always been an amazing conference that is missing a key educator demographic…. school principals and assistant principals.
These are often the folks making decisions for schools re: GT, but we need to have more sessions offered that inform the day to day.
I want the energy of the presenters at this overexcitability session. They are amazing on the last session of the day. #NAGC24
Closing out #NAGC24 Day 3 with Overexcitabilities! Eager to learn more about how to celebrate this energy in my classroom! #NAGCGIFTED #EduSky
I am absolutely enthralled by this presentation. #NAGC24
Love this low-prep method for differentiating with questioning! Thanks to Kimberly Chandler! #NAGC24 #NAGCGIFTED

If we know that tests like CogAT, NNAT, NGAT, etc create anxiety for students and teachers AND that students perform closer to their potential after real practice of that test, why not create some kind of creative play-practice at the sign on screen for these tests w/feedback? | #Gifted #NAGC24
Listening to Dr. Orla Dunne discussing the importance of self-identification in LGBTQ+ gifted students. #NAGC24
Absolutely loved the Lesson Roundtables. Sat in on great discussions about using the podcast Rabbits, using ChatGPT to support fine arts creation, and ethical historical role play. #NAGC24
Hey #NAGC24 friends! Come see me in the Exhibit Hall for Lesson Roundtable #44. F2OE for the Win! See how you can use creativity to up the rigor in any content area.
Attending a session just for me as opposed to thinking about the state #NAGC24
This could be a great springboard for creating a positive, relevant and challenging learning experience for gifted kids.
