Gifted Coordinator Fundamentals & Connections: From Identification to Program Success
PRESENTERS: Dina M. Brulles, Ed.D., Director of Gifted Education, Paradise Valley Unified School District
Keri Guilbault, Ed.D., Assistant Professor, Johns Hopkins University

Gifted coordinators’ roles vary widely. While some seek out the position, oftentimes teachers are assigned the position
with little preparation, guidance, or direction. Gifted coordinators moving into the role may wonder what the
expectations will be and how they will know what steps to take toward developing the services that best address their
school/district’s needs. Regardless of the coordinator’s role and school/district location, several prevailing priorities
exist: identifying students with high potential; increasing diversity; developing appropriate services, curriculum, and
teacher support; and structuring sustainable gifted services.

Session presenters will share research, resources, approaches, cautions, and suggestions aligned with the 2019 NAGC
Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards to help guide novice and veteran gifted coordinators in building,
supporting and evaluating success in their school/districts’ gifted programs. Participants will spend time collaborating
with, and learning from, other gifted coordinators who share similar situations and goals.
