VISION

We envision a time when all students in New Mexico including gifted students are given an appropriate educational experience that matches their abilities and potentials, where there is ample opportunity for their intellectual challenge and growth, and those who work with them are adequately trained to appreciate, understand, and nurture their unique talents.

MISSION

To promote an understanding about gifted students and their educational and social emotional needs among educators, administrators, parents and any one interested in the needs of gifted children and to provide a supportive learning community for each other.

To communicate information about the latest issues, best-practices and research in the field of education of the gifted.

To advocate and provide leadership for policies that promote supportive legislation and funding for the gifted at the state level.

To disseminate information on education of the gifted to all interested parties.
