Organizer Nebraska Association For The Gifted
Organizer of G.R.I.T - Gaining Resilience through Instruction and Teaching
The Nebraska Association for the Gifted (NAG) began in 1956 as a group of concerned parents, teachers, and administrators known as The Governor’s Committee for the Academically Talented.
Formed as an association in 1957, the group has continually strived to increase awareness of parents, teachers, teacher-trainers, and the general public to provide appropriate developmental experiences for students of high ability.
The association has continually worked with the Nebraska Department of Education, and state legislature. NAG has helped frame Rule 3 regulations governing the identification of high ability learners, lobbied to win support for Public Law 1229, providing funding for programs for gifted learners and has worked closely with the state department’s Director of High Ability Learner Education
