I've been thinking all week about a 7th-grader's questions on history. "Does history teach us that you have to break rules and laws for effective change? ... How are we supposed to know when it's justified to do the wrong thing to get the right result?" @FISD_PearsonMS
#HB3 Update: 4 amendments have been ACCEPTED: board policy regarding use of funds, certification consistent with the state plan, requirement to report G/T expenditures, removal of perceived 5% cap. #whyGT#txlege Thank you @jamestalarico@Ramos4Texas@MattShaheen@TurnerForTX
UPDATE: HB 3 passes House, moves to Senate with strengthened requirements around policy for/reporting of G/T expen. & services. TAGT is proud of our members’ advocacy! TAGT & members will keep advocating for dedicated G/T funding in the Senate education bill. #whyGT#TAGT#txlege
"I think the title “Gifted and Talented” is misleading. Merely because it implies that we are of a greater caliber. When, for me, it was only when I walked into the G/T classroom that I felt special. That I felt gifted and talented."--Holland #whyGT#TAGT

Who gets to be gifted? This is an essential equity question, and why I'm I thrilled to support, and ask YOU to support the important work of "The G Word" to tell the story of what giftedness means and looks like in the 21st century! https://t.co/qk7gyYhj3b #gtchat@theGwordfilm
