  C3: Coordinators Connect and Collaborate
  

  Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year

  If you are a Gifted Coordinator or work in a gifted program leadership role, please join the IAGC for our 4-session, Bi-Monthly Virtual Support Meetings in which we provide resources, discussions, and strategies to help teachers work with advanced learners in their classroom.

  Topic:  The Fordham Institute Pipeline Report

  Coordinators and district/school leaders are invited to join the conversation as we review research and recommendations from the recent report: Building a Wider, More Diverse Pipeline of Advanced Learners, published by the National Working Group on Advanced Education. Strategies for developing a comprehensive continuum of services for advanced learning within districts/schools will be a key area of focus.

  This topic will be covered over the course of 4 sessions, October, December 2025 and January, April 2026. 

  Coordinators of advanced academic programming are invited to join this year's C3 conversations as we address a new topic.

  Bring your questions, ideas, and solutions to share with other Gifted Coordinators across the state.
