At the 2019 Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented Conference, the Colorado Gifted and Talented Student Board presented "Unifying Gifted and Talented Education." We premiered our board and discussed how we can improve gifted education from the student perspective.
In 2018, Allie, Zeyta, and Sarah founded the Colorado Gifted and Talented Student Board. Originally meeting through the Gifted and Talented Secondary Perspective's Colorado Secondary Summit, they noticed a lack of student advocacy within gifted education. To address the shortcomings of the GT program, they used their advocacy and leadership skills to found the Colorado Gifted and Talented Student Board.
