Statewide TAG Network

Zoom networking sessions will be facilitated by AEA G/T Consultants and are being held to provide networking opportunities for G/T educators and coordinators across the state. Sessions will focus on the needs and interests of the participants in attendance.  While we will have a topic/theme for each session, we also want to be flexible to meet participant needs or respond to timely questions and issues.  These networking opportunities will allow you to discuss issues, topics, and pose questions to other Gifted/Talented educators across the state.

Sessions will not be recorded in order to keep the network a safe and welcoming space to share information, concerns, and engage in honest dialogue.  Depending on the size of the group, we will utilize breakout rooms based on school size, program grade level, etc.
