DAGT- Denver Association of Gifted and Talented • DAGT is CAGT’s Denver Affiliate • DAGT’s focus is providing knowledge for parents plus a forum for engagement, networking and sharing of information • Organize speaker events on different topics related to giftedness for parents. Almost all events are free of charge.
DAGT • We hold our speaker events at schools across Denver and keen to bring a speaker event to your school. • As a result of parents expressing a need to have more time for discussion, DAGT also hold a monthly drop in discussion group. It’s run like a book group but with a short article instead of a whole book to read!
DAGT • Moving forward in 2011/12 • Broaden the parent network to help DAGT in making sure information on events reaches as many people as possible • Create opportunities for parents to have a deeper understanding of gifted learning needs and giftedness for both their children and for themselves • Contact us at denvergifted@gmail.com or http://denvergifted.blogspot.com • Any questions, call Mandianne Berg on 303-502-7259
