Wisconsin TAG Conference

The past two days I have attended the State Talented and Gifted Conference in Wisconsin Dells.  Since the education world is full of acronyms, this is better known as WaTAG.  Along with over 200 gifted and talented educators from the state, I have been a part of valuable discussions and have revisited best practices in the field of TAG.  I am anxious to bring many new ideas back to Edgerton and implement them through our new TAG programming.  Among the most popular discussion topics were using the common core standards as the "springboard" for replacement practice in the area of high achievers and also increasing opportunities for critical thinking skills to be used and practiced.  Watch for future posts that will offer challenges to use your own critical thinking skills!  More to come......
