Description
Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that has." In order for the gifted education world to change so all children learn something every day, people must know how to become thoughtful and committed advocates. They must know how to craft messages and deliver them to the right audience. They must learn how to establish relationships with decision makers, so they can make a real difference. This session focuses on those aspects by sharing ideas and resources to enable people to become lifelong advocates.
