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.
