Virginia Consortium for Gifted |
Our Organization...
VAG was founded in 1977 to support
gifted education. We publish a quarterly newsletter; organize a statewide conference in
odd numbered years; organize a statewide seminar in even numbered years; support research
in gifted education; support specialized professional preparation for educators of the
gifted; and recognize outstanding educators for their contributions to gifted learners.
Membership is open to individuals who are interested in education of the gifted.
Our Vision...
The Virginia Association of the Gifted
is a statewide organization of parents, educators, and community leaders that advocates
appropriate instruction for all gifted learners.
Our Mission...
The Virginia Association for the Gifted
supports research in gifted education and advocates specialized preparation for educators of the gifted. The association
disseminates information, maintains a statewide network of communication, and cooperates
with organizations and agencies to improve the quality of education in the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
