CAGT Statements
Conversations with CAGT
Our 2024-2025, Season 5, of our Conversations with CAGT is up and running! This season our CWCs are streaming live on Facebook the first Tuesday of each month at 5:00 pm MDT. You can also view any CWCs you missed from Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 on our Resource page under Conversations with CAGT.
Each 1st 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!
Our first CWC guest of the season on August 20th, was Meghan Bonde, who presented, Navigating the Tedx Journey as a Gifted Entrepreneur. Meghan discussed how to follow the process of applying for and preparing to deliver a TedX speaking engagement through the lens of adult giftedness, neurodiversity, and perfectionistic tendancies. If you missed this informative session, you can find it on the Resource page, or access it on our Facebook page or our YouTube channel.
Our next CWC guest on Sept. 3rd, will be Cecilia Quintanilla, who will present, Signs of Giftedness in the Early Years. This presentation will explore the key characteristics of giftedness in early childhood, focusing on how these traits often manifest in preschool-aged children. Participants will gain insights into identifying gifted behaviors and discover practical tools and strategies to support the development of these exceptional individuals at home and school. Please join us live at 5:00 on our Facebook page to hear this presentation and join the Q&A with Cecilia Quintanilla.
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.
