The Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented (MCGT) and the MCGT Homeschoolers Chapter will host a joint event, the eighth annual MCGT Gifted Education Resource Fair and second annual Gifted 101 mini-conference. It will be held Saturday, 10 March 2012 at 

Edina Community Center, Rooms 350 and 351

9:00am to 1:00pm - Resource Fair 

9:00am to 10:30am - Workshop Session 1 

1:00pm to 2:30pm - Workshop Session 2 

At each workshop session there will be three different workshops available. Thomas Greenspon will speak on perfectionism and how to deal with it. Teresa Boatman will speak on young gifted children. Deborah Ruf will speak on levels of giftedness. The sessions will be geared to parents who are new to the world of gifted. Those who attend the sessions will have plenty of time to explore the Resource Fair in between sessions.

The Resource Fair lets you see and learn more about educational materials and resources for gifted learners from toddlers to adults. Vendors and parents of gifted children will be on hand to discuss the resources with you. 

Admission for the Resource Fair only will be $5 per family for MCGT members and $10 per family for non-members. Admission for the two sessions along with the Resource Fair will be $20 per family for MCGT members and $30 per family for non-members. Admission will be payable at the door with an opportunity to join MCGT to receive the discounted admission price.
