Make Your Case: District + Campus Leaders

Grow Your Leadership. Strengthen Your Team.

Strong gifted education programs depend on leaders who can guide systems, support educators, and make informed decisions about services for gifted and advanced learners.

At giftED26, campus and district leaders can deepen their own knowledge while giving teachers, specialists, coordinators, counselors, and instructional leaders access to practical learning they can bring back to their work.

Why Attend as a Leader?

Explore ideas that can support your work in:

  • Program design and evaluation
  • Identification and service models
  • Educator development
  • Advanced academics
  • Equity and access
  • Advocacy
  • State expectations
  • Campus and district leadership

Connect with coordinators, administrators, specialists, and district leaders who are working through similar challenges. These conversations can provide new perspectives, practical examples, and professional support beyond the conference itself.

Return with research, resources, and approaches that can inform planning, professional learning, and stronger support for gifted learners across your campus or district.

Why Bring Your Team?

  • Build Knowledge and Confidence: Help educators better understand gifted learners and gain practical strategies they can use in classrooms and programs.
  • Strengthen Instruction: Explore topics such as differentiation, rigor, talent development, advanced academics, twice-exceptionality, social-emotional learning, artificial intelligence, and identification.
  • Extend the Learning: When multiple team members attend, they can share resources, support one another, and bring new ideas into PLCs, coaching, professional learning, program planning, and campus or district initiatives.
