GAMbit Highlights

GAMbit is published quarterly by the Gifted Association of Missouri to inform educators, parents and others about the unique educational, social and emotional needs of gifted and talented children and the issues which impact their development.

The spring issue features an article by Dr. Linda Silverman, “What We Have Learned About Gifted Children, 1979 – 2007.” Other articles include “Discover the United Streaming Resources” by Marge Hocter, “Rest is a Discipline” by Maureen Neihart, and “Time to Think and Learn” by Colene Wilson. Two parents review books for this issue. The District News and Events section reports on activities in each GAM district. The Bulletin Board highlights achievements of gifted students and teachers along with the announcements of events and opportunities as well as schedules of course offerings in gifted education from Missouri Colleges and Universities.

If you have a student who has achieved recognition at the state or national level, please let GAMbit know. Each year GAM honors outstanding people for their contributions to gifted education in Missouri. Nominations are due by July 1. Nomination forms are included in the spring GAMbit.

Articles and suggestions are welcomed and can be mailed to Lea Trimble, 134 Industrial Park Dr., Hollister, MO 65672 or leatrimble@tri-lakes.net.
