2e Forum: May 14 2011
Saturday, 07 May 2011 08:14
With only a week to go, it is exciting to note the many registrations for this important day, and to read over the program and feel thrilled that there are so many sessions on offer, with so many high quality presenters prepared to stand up and talk about this group of gifted children.
I am sure the day will provide many chances for learning, interacting, networking and sharing - something that is essential as families address the needs of their 2e children. As we share in the roundtable discussions in the afternoon, we will be able to uncover the crucial issues and questions that you have about support and provision, and in doing this bring together a raft of ideas that will form the basis of an advocacy document. This is a new style of event for NSWAGTC, allowing you as participants in the forum to have a combined voiuce - there is strength in numbers!
I look forward to meeting many of our members and a broad group of interested community members there, and sharing in your experiecnes.
You will be able to purchase relevant books from the NSWAGTC stock as well as, hot off the press, the book that brings together the relevent presentations from the Asia Pacific Conference in JUly 2010 - and published by AAEGT as a result of the conference last year. This book will be available for $20 a copy, and has papers from a range of presenters at the conference.
Thank you for supporting this event. The organising committee: Rhonda FIlmer, Carol Barnes, Helen Duduney, Rosemary Hammerton and myself, along with the general committee of the NSWAGTC and the office staff are glad to be able to provide such an opportunity.

NSWAGTC Blogs
The blogs appearing on the NSWAGTC site are designed to provide colour, news and subjective views about the many issues and concerns facing gifted children and their parents, care-givers and educators. Some of the blogs are associated with formal roles of the NSWAGTC, such as the President and the Webmaster. These allow the persons filling these roles to note to members any current news and changes. Other NSWAGTC blogs are written by individuals with experience of gifted children from one or more perspectives - for example Cate's Blog is from the viewpoint of a primary school teacher and parent of gifted children. These blogs are written solely by the person identified and represent his or her views, rather than necessarily those of the NSWAGTC. Comments are invited We invite comments on our blog entries, by both financial members and registered users (free). Click here to register. Comments may be reviewed and those considered inappropriate will be deleted. New blogs? We would also be delighted to consider applications from potential bloggers provided that the applicant accepts that this will be subject to a review process and may well be declined for any number of reasons which may not be shared with the applicant. Applications, which should include a resume and a vision for the potential blog, and suggestions for new blogs, can be sent in the first instance to the webmaster. |
