@gtchatmod A6) Parents can be more effective by making combined advocacy efforts, submitting letters, and supporting each other with parent support groups. #gtchat

[gtchatmod @gtchatmod]

A5 Gifted programming is often the first to be cut when school districts seek to trim budgets. Smart tactics to counter the cuts should first promote options which involve little to no cost. This involves raising awareness of the need for gifted education. #gtchat

[gtchatmod @gtchatmod]

A5 Advocates need to organize and seek buy-in from parents and educators of GT students. The local community should be educated through public forums on the benefits of a strong gifted program. #gtchat

@gtchatmod A4) In general there will be less advocacy for the needs of gifted and 2E students in isolated areas or low socio economic areas #gtchat

[Jo Freitag @jofrei]

@gtchatmod A3) Advocacy according to Sprite and co. https://t.co/MTENTUA3MZ #gtchat

[gtchatmod @gtchatmod]

A2 Advocacy efforts have been hampered by lack of access to decision makers, re-allotment of funding away from gifted programs, and fewer opportunities for advocates to meet in person. #gtchat

[Jo Freitag @jofrei]

@gtchatmod A1) It is important to give ALL students the opportunity to LEARN at their own level, pace and depth #gtchat
