<br>
Nicholas Colangelo, Ph.D.<br>
April 4, 2013 <br>
4:30-6:00 PM US-CDT (Log-on beginning at 4:00) <o:p></o:p></span></h3>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Support for gifted and talented programs and services has not been consistent throughout history in the United States. One of the challenges is the continuous sense
of anti-intellectualism, even though that same hostility is rarely apparent toward those who excel in sports, dance, art, or music. Additional challenges have included a belief that gifted programs are "elitist," and that talented learners will "make it on
their own." The Webinar (or DVD option) is required to enroll in the credit option; the online component will explore challenges to gifted and ways to advocate for programs essential for academic talent development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
