Douglas County Association for Gifted and Talented (DCAGT) is an affiliate of the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented (CAGT), which is an affiliate of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC).
DCAGT's mission is to:
1) foster an understanding of all gifted children, and any subcategories of giftedness (including twice exceptional (2e) children), and their exceptional needs and
2) advocate for gifted children’s needs through partnerships with educators, parents, administrators, legislators, organizations and the general public, and
3) support the educational and social/emotional well-being of gifted children and their families and caregivers.
The Family Institute is designed specifically for parents, guardians, grandparents, and any adult who plays an integral role in raising their gifted children. Our evening’s presenters will share their expertise about how to support the unique academic and social-emotional needs of these children when at home.
We’re pleased to announce that the Family Institute, like the CAGT Conference, returns as an in-person event this year. You get to enjoy live presentations, meet the experts, network with other families and educators, and enjoy treats and vendors in one location! The Family Institute takes place on Monday, October 17th from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm at Embassy Suites in Loveland, CO. Register at www.coloradogifted.org.
