Resources

Advocacy work raises awareness of gifted students and their learning needs at the individual, school, district and state levels. Wisconsin residents can find their state legislators here.The following resources can be used to help these efforts:

National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC)
NAGC organizes advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local levels, but needs advocates on the ground to create positive and lasting change for gifted students.


Negotiating Change in Your School District​: Presentation at 2016 WATG Conference: Know your rights, determine the appropriate channels, and learn how negotiation and advocacy skills can help create change in G/T education at both the school district and individual school level.
​
Kids Forward Advocacy Toolkit: Provides information for advocates at the state level in Wisconsin. The guide explains the state budget process and timing for advocates to take action.

Wisconsin DPI Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): DPI’s main page for updates on Wisconsin's ESSA plan

Wisconsin Public Education Network (WPEN): ​Offers various advocacy events and training opportunities across the state
