The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) was
About founded in 1954 by a group of 16 educators, administrators, and

psychologists. This small group came together because of their
Us mutual belief that there should be a national effort for the

identification, education, and motivation of gifted children. The

goals that these pioneers put forth for the association still guide

its activities today:

• Stimulating and encouraging research and education of gifted

children.

• Making available and disseminating scientific information
concerning gifted children.

• Encouraging the study of issues and best practices in working

with gifted children.
• Providing classroom teachers with opportunities to study

improved methods of working with gifted children.

• Publishing and reporting scientific and experimental
investigations related to gifted children and improved

practices for working with them.
