4.2.3 How to Create a More Well-Rounded Gifted and Talented Program with Booster Program Components
This session will discuss the different booster components that have been implemented as part of a gifted and talented (GT) program to meet the intellectual and emotional needs of GT students as well as increase parent engagement. Activities focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) and engagement events will be shared with implementation guidelines as well as pitfalls to avoid. Deployment of these components such as a welcome event, family game nights, showcases, code jams, and parent forums can create a more robust and well-rounded GT program.
