“One of the “great gripes of gifted” is that no one ever explains what giftedness is.
Instead, giftedness is kept a big secret. It really should NOT be that way! Join us as
we crack open the secret vault of giftedness and uncover what giftedness is and
isn’t. Together we explore strategies for talking with gifted kids, families, and
teachers about the gifted experience. This informative and engaging session will
equip you with a collection of ready-to-use activities related to perfectionism,
identity development, imposter syndrome, and developing your own superpower.
Finally, we will discuss a step-by-step strategy for advocating for the necessity of
gifted programs in your community.”
Keynote: Dr. Brian Housand
Date: February 8, 2024, 6-8 pm, Helena College LH, Helena, MT

The AIM Department will collect data again in the spring for program participation for Gifted and Talented students. You should make it a practice to update information in a student's record as they are evaluated and potentially identified. Once these fields are marked for a student, they will remain a part of their record moving forward.
Districts have the option to enter the data manually in the student’s 2023-24 enrollment record or upload the data using the below Program Participation File Template linked below.
