SUBJECT: DOE/FLAG Workshop for Teachers New to Gifted Education

 

In support of the mission of the Department of Education (DOE) to assist school districts in providing

quality, efficient services to all Florida students, the DOE and the Florida Association for the Gifted

(FLAG) are pleased to announce the DOE/FLAG Workshop for Teachers New to Gifted Education to be

held on June 25, 2007, in Miami, Florida. The workshop will provide information about differentiating

instruction strategies for gifted students; information about addressing underrepresented populations in

gifted; tips for working with students at different grade levels; and opportunities for networking and

mentoring with veteran gifted teachers.

 

There is no registration fee; however, all travel expenses are the responsibility of the individual

participant or school district.

 

Please feel free to make additional copies of the attached brochure to disseminate information to

interested school personnel. We look forward to providing a meaningful professional growth opportunity

for teachers new to gifted education!
