As a statewide advocacy group, Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented is focused on improving the lives of gifted students. This is accomplished in four main areas:
1) by helping people understand the characteristics of gifted students,
2) by training teachers in different strategies to create dynamic classrooms that challenge and engage gifted students,
3) by providing families with information on how to advocate for the unique needs (both academic and affective) of their gifted students, and
4) by supporting statewide and national laws and policies that assure gifted and talented students access to appropriate academic programs.
