The roundtable discussions will be grounded in Dr. Abe Tannenbaum’s “A Bill of Rights for the Gifted.” Modified by Dr. Kay, the article names the possibilities for educating gifted students and the benefits for all. Participants will discuss the implications of the piece, particularly around how it can inform and guide advocacy in our state.

This engaging exchange will be followed by a raffle and Q&A with Dr. Baldwin and Dr. Kay. In addition, all registrants will receive a promo code for 25% off GiftedNYS membership. If you’re already a member, consider gifting your discount to a friend!
