The View from the Ship: Navigating Shifting Tides in Gifted Education

Wednesday July 15, 2026 1:25pm - 2:20pm EDT

Systems leadership means holding fast to a shared vision while successfully navigating changing regulatory conditions, maintaining optimism, and supporting everyone on board. Reflecting on a 20-year voyage through the shifting tides of Ohio’s gifted education system, this session explores the history of our field and the lessons learned along the way. Come chart a course for the future as we discuss how to work together to ensure a horizon of opportunity for all children.

This session qualifies for Gifted PD hours.
