Important note: The Works table is not intended to be childcare for adults attending the workshops – a parent must be in the Resource Fair room(s) and parents are responsible for their children during the entire duration of the Resource Fair and Workshops.

The resource fair typically lets you see and discuss educational materials and resources for all gifted learners from toddlers to adults. There will be displays of gifted education resources from many sources, with vendors and parents at the fair to discuss the resources with you. Teachers can find helpful materials for their classes at the fair, parents can find supplements for “afterschooling” or materials for full-time homeschooling, and children and adults of all ages can find fun toys and gifts.

Parents and educators are invited to come and learn more about the materials
and programs available to gifted students including:
* Curricula and other materials parents have used with their gifted children for homeschooling, supplemental after-schooling, or as replacement curricula for school-based independent study.

* Information about distance learning programs for gifted students.

* Information about local and national organizations for families of gifted children.

Attendees will be able to ask parents of gifted children questions about the many resources currently being used and examine many of those materials first hand. Books on gifted children and gifted education may also be purchased during theresource fair at the MCGT book table. Additionally, local vendors of educational products will have many materials for sale.

The MCGT Gifted Education Resource Fair began in 2005 as a way for parents of gifted children to share their knowledge with other families and to spread the word to parents and teachers about the best programs and materials for gifted children.
