Department of Elementary and Secondary Education DESE - GIFTED EDUCATION HOMEPAGE

We, the members of the Gifted Association of Missouri, believe an appropriate education is every Missourian's concern. We also believe children with unusual potential have unique learning needs. We recognize that Missourians must become aware of these children and their needs at home, at school, and in the community. Therefore, the Gifted Association of Missouri sets as its goals:

Be a leader for gifted children in the school reform movement.
Empower parents of gifted children to become informed and active advocates for their gifted children.
Ensure adequate funding for the education of gifted children in Missouri.
