Supporting GT Educators

#SAGElovesGCISD!

One of SAGE's key focus areas is to support the teachers of gifted students in our classrooms, specifically those who have purposeful clusters or self-contained classrooms of gifted students. We are proud to provide grants for classroom teachers and staff who support these teachers.

With the success of the GT student in mind, we love to partner with teachers to help parents and the community understand the world of gifted education. It's our mission. Scroll through our events and accomplishments, and you'll see a long history of activities supporting GT students, their teachers and families.
