[Ohiogift] interviews???

[Eric C Calvert]

The most recent issue of the OAGC Review, which focuses on gifted education's place in the larger context of state and national education reform movements and debates, would actually give you a good introduction to the topics, trends, and buzzwords. I suggest checking it out as a refresher/overview and then branching out and digging deeper from there.

Shameless plug: OAGC members get the Review as a free benefit, and membership is cheap and gets you a conference registration discount that actually saves you more than the membership dues cost if you come to the conference. http://www.oagc.com/?q=signup And, even if you don't come to the conference, you'll get the Review and the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you're helping support good stuff for gifted kids, such as efforts to educate legislators, school leaders, and the public on how and why to provide opportunities that help bright kids reach their full potential. And, our President Rachel Smethers-Winters may (but also may not) personally send you an autographed homemade coffee mug or tiny and kind of weird looking OAGC tote bag if you join this week.

Kathy,

To get the most topical issues covered by the greatest minds in gifted ed, you may instead consider attending NAGC's national convention, which is just next door this year in Indianapolis.  For $400-$800 registration fee (less than most courses' tuition) and 3-5 intense days, you walk away with a lot of knowledge and handouts and, likely, at least one direction to pursue for deeper independent study.

The CCSS continue to be the topic of the day, and NAGC (as well as OAGC's annual conference, for that matter) features multiple sessions on CCSS and gifted.

Just one idea...
Anne

I would like to take a class this year that would prepare me for interviews since I have been away from the field for a couple of years. ... I need to be able to discuss the current trends in education, and more specifically, gifted education. Can anyone suggest a course? It would have to be in the NW quadrant of the state or online....or maybe something that meets weekends. Please let me know if you know of anything.
