Conversations with CAGT
CAGT is excited for Season 3 of our Conversations with CAGT! This season we will be streaming live on FaceBook the first and third Tuesdays at 5:00 pm MDT. You can also view any CWCs you missed from Seasons 1 and 2 on our Resource page under Conversations with CAGT.
Each 1st and 3rd Tuesday on the month at 5:00 pm MDT, we will live stream a 20 – 30 minute presentation, followed by a Q&A with a local or national expert on a topic current and relevant to our GT community. Please join us for these informational conversations!
This past Tuesday, May 16th, PJ Sedillo shared his presentation Gifted LGBTQ+ Stages of Identity. This presentation focused on Identity Stages for Gifted-GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals. In his presentation PJ brings forth information to assist all who are either Gifted-GLBT, a counselor/therapist, educator, or one’s family and friend. This presentation will help participants better understand all current research on gay and gifted stages of identity and Sedillo’s Gifted-GLBT Stages of Identity.
If you missed this CWC, it is totally worth watching or any other session you may have missed you can view them on our Resource page at www.coloradogifted.org.
Our third season of Conversations with CAGT is finished. We hope you subscribe to our YouTube Channel or visit our webpage at www.coloradogifted.org for all of our CWCs and other great resources.

Normal operations are still in place except for any in person activities. Plans for our fall conference have begun and we are following all legislative issues that may impact our GT students. We remain committed to supporting our community of gifted learners through this challenging time and to help families who must remain home throughout the rest of the school year.
