The Renaissance of the CFGE Newsletter
Anthony M. Washington

Under the direction of Executive Director Tracy L. Cross, the goal of this newsletter is to serve as a catalyst in efforts to "bridge the gap" between the scholarly research that seeks to advance knowledge within the field and the teachers, administrators and practitioners who are on the ground floor interacting with gifted children. We hope to provide current research in a format that allows for high quality content to be easily consumed by teachers, parents, and administrators.

 

In every issue we will provide information regarding the curriculum, professional development, conferences and pre-collegiate programs that comprise our contribution to the gifted education community. In addition, we will feature student and faculty research in the field of gifted education.
