CAGT Mission Statement

It is our belief that all humans have an inherent right to develop their full potential. The purpose of the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented is to foster an understanding of all gifted children and their exceptional needs, and to advocate for appropriate education through partnerships with educators, parents, administrators, legislators, and the general public.

  • CAGT is...

    a non profit advocacy organization with a 30 year history of providing leadership and support to students, parents and educators of gifted young people in Colorado. By way of affiliate members across the state, CAGT has endeavored to keep all school districts and policy makers aware of the issues surrounding gifted education.

  • The people...

    Gifted young people are typically those who score in the top 5 percent of the population on an I.Q. test. The Colorado Department of Education reports there are 51,083 students in Colorado formally identified as gifted (2005-2006). Some estimates place the total number of gifted students in the state to be in the neighborhood of 69,000. Colorado has a growing number of highly qualified educators specialized in gifted education. Gifted individuals are all around us.

  • The promise...

    is that gifted education will continue to enrich our world and nation with intellectual manpower as we face a changing future. The promise is that all children, including those that identified as gifted, will achieve to their fullest potential. Gifted individuals account for the broad majority of new inventions, patents, research and development breakthroughs, and advances in technology.Immersion in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields of study is a recent approach.
