Thomas B. Fordham Institute president Mike Petrilli gives a great perspective on what giftedness is and where it's going.



This is a great read from Education Week that backs up what Petrilli said in the podcast interview.



The Thomas B. Fordham Institute promotes educational excellence.

Lisa Van Gemert has experience in gifted education in many different facets — as a student, as a parent, as a teacher and now as a teacher's aid in helping educators. She weighs in on inclusion, poverty and how excited she is to come back to Wisconsin. I guarantee you will love this podcast.



The Wisconsin Association for Gifted & Talented could not be happier to have Van Gemert as a keynote speaker for the WATG Conference.
