April 29th is Gifted Education Day!

Some ideas for ways to celebrate and advocate on Gifted Education Day:

• Thank your child’s teacher(s) for the differentiated instruction they provide
• Contact the Board of Education asking for more opportunities for gifted students
• Send an email to Governor Snyder requesting Michigan also declare a Gifted Education Day
• Read a book like Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom and share the ideas with your child’s teacher
• Join the Michigan Alliance for Gifted Education.  Be sure to tell them you are a Rochester SAGE member!
• Check out items for gifted children at Prufrock Press and Bright Ideas
• Feature a program at the PTA meeting to promote academic excellence
• Invite newspapers, media, etc. to visit gifted education classrooms
• Wear buttons or pins promoting Gifted Education Day
