[Ohiogift] Reminder! Deadline for Belin-Blank Fellowship is Monday, March 2

[Croft, Laurie J]

Good morning, colleagues!

This is a reminder about the Belin-Blank Fellowship deadline-the Fellowship is a *wonderful* opportunity for teachers in your building who are interested in being advocates with you for their gifted students:


This summer will be the 40th year for The Connie Belin & Jacqueline N. Blank Fellowship Program in Gifted Education.  This prestigious fellowship program attracts applicants from across the United States and often has at least one participant from another nation.  The Belin-Blank Fellowship is designed for educators who are NEW to the field of gifted education and have not already had opportunities to learn as much as they want and need to know about the gifted/talented students in their schools and districts.

PLEASE SHARE DETAILS ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP WITH COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN GIFTED EDUCATION!

Forty years of experience have convinced the Belin-Blank Center that the most effective way to provide meaningful educational experiences to gifted students is to provide a special program for classroom teachers, school counselors and psychologists, and school administrators.  Through an immersive educational journey, educators will develop the skills to better understand and work with gifted students as well as the knowledge and skills to provide leadership for others.

Varying approaches to professional development in gifted education exist, but no program provides the incentives for educators, as well as the intensive individualized approach, offered by this fellowship program.  The Belin-Blank Fellowship Program in Gifted Education makes it possible for a select number of educators, nominated by their schools/districts, to participate in professional development in gifted education.



The Fellowship will take place from June 21 - 26, 2020; the application process ends on March 2, 2020.



Please visit belinblank.org/fellowship<http://belinblank.org/fellowship> for more details.  Invite those who will serve as effective allies in developing the talents of our gifted learners to apply in late January.  Contact educators at belinblank.org<mailto:educators at belinblank.org> with questions.


All the best,

Laurie
