Attend Our Conference
We know that great work is happening across the midwest to make education work to meet the needs of our advanced learners. WATG invites you to join us at our virtual conference, WATG 2020, to learn all about gifted and talented education in Wisconsin. More information is available at watg2020.virtualconference.com
We are excited to announce Dr. Marcia Gentry and Dr. Brian Housand as our keynote speakers for our virtual conference. Dr. Gentry’s keynote “Equity in Wisconsin” will address our state report cards concerning access, equity, and missingness in gifted education. Her findings are timely, important, and matter to students from underserved groups and to their educators. Dr. Housand’s keynote “Where Do We Go From Here? Charting the Course Ahead for Gifted Education” will identify some of gifted education’s greatest challenges and reexamine them as opportunities for growth. He will explore a roadmap of ways to reverse the long history of underrepresented populations in gifted programs, outline strategies for developing more critical consumers of information and media, and develop meaningful learning experiences designed to challenge gifted students in a variety of learning environments. Please join us in this important work...now more than ever!
