Albuquerque Association for

Gifted and Talented Students

A non-profit organization dedicated to developing one of our most precious resources — gifted and talented students.

 

The Albuquerque Association for Gifted and Talented Students (AAGTS) is a group of volunteers dedicated to  advocating for the needs of gifted and talented students.  This advocacy takes the form of educating school officials, teachers, parents, and students as well as working with the school district, state legislature, and congress.  AAGTS publishes four newsletters per year with articles on parenting and teaching gifted students—including special populations, holds four general membership meetings per year presenting experts in the field of gifted education, and holds an annual conference with a nationally known speaker in gifted education.

The NM legislative session is over and  House Bill 241 did not pass the  Senate. But we expect the proposed changes in gifted education to reappear.   If you care about protecting New Mexico’s gifted children, please help us.

 Why were we concerned about HB 241?
