Local gifted education teachers from Jackson, Gallia, Lawrence, Ross, and Vinton counties gathered for a transformative two-day training session August 5-6, 2024.The training aimed to empower educators with the strategies and knowledge necessary to excel in serving gifted students.

Dr. Housand, a renowned expert from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, shared his skills on identifying and nurturing gifted students. Participants learned innovative teaching strategies and gained access to the online resource Gifted 360, a self-paced professional learning experience.

This training marked the beginning of a continued partnership between Dr. Housand and participating educators. With virtual meetups provided throughout the school year, participants will have ongoing opportunities to collaborate and learn together.
