Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

The Javits-Frasier Educational Leadership Program equips educators to identify and support gifted learners whose potential is too often overlooked.

This June, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $6,000 thanks to a generous matching grant from the NAGC Board.

Your gift doesn't just support educators, it helps more students access opportunities to thrive.

Thanks to a matching grant from the NAGC Board, every gift made through June 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $6,000.

Double your impact. Help more students be seen.

How well does your classroom reflect the cultures, experiences, and strengths of your students?

The new LEAP Culturally Responsive Teaching for Gifted and High-Potential Students Modules are designed to help educators move beyond good intentions and into meaningful practice.

Through five self-paced modules, you'll explore:

βœ” Self-reflection and social awareness
βœ” The historical contexts that shape education today
βœ” Culturally responsive pedagogical approaches
βœ” Gifted education through an equity lens
βœ” Practical strategies for creating more inclusive learning environments

Because culturally responsive teaching isn't an add-on, it's essential to ensuring gifted and high-potential learners are recognized, challenged, and supported.

Start learning at your own pace today.

πŸ“£ Grow your network. Share your expertise. Find your community.

NAGC is excited to introduce two new Special Interest Groups (SIGs): the PK–12 Teacher Leader SIG and the Profoundly Gifted SIG. These new communities are designed to bring together educators, researchers, caregivers, and advocates who are passionate about supporting gifted learners and advancing the field of gifted education.

Whether you're looking to collaborate with peers, explore emerging research, strengthen your leadership skills, or advocate for profoundly gifted students, there's a place for you.

Learn more about these new opportunities and how to get involved in the new blog post.

When your child has both autism and ADHD, finding the right support can be more complex than it seems. Before starting a behavioral intervention or therapy, it's important to ask questions that consider the unique strengths and needs of AuDHD children.

This resource from the March 2026 issue of Parenting for High Potential shares key questions parents can use to advocate for more personalized, strengths-based support.
