Join the UCF ADVOCATES FOR ADVANCED AND GIFTED EDUCATION for a look at Education for the future in this conference for teachers, specialists, graduate students, and parents. This year's theme "Engaging Brilliance: Interactions That Cultivate Excellence and Resilience in a World of Challenge" will feature sessions on how to build excellence in curriculum for advanced, high-ability, and gifted students and develop resilience in a world that is rapidly changing and full of challenges. Topics are relevant for all students in transforming curriculum. Highlights include: * Going beyond the impact of A.I. in Education, we will examine the skills, competences and affective experiences of students as they navigate challenges. What school models hold the promise of bright futures and authentic curricula especially for students facing extreme circumstances locally and around the world? * Learn about the 10 years of research on USDOE grants for unique learners through the model teacher leaders and doctoral students in the field locally! * Through engaging workshops, expert talks, and workshops, attendees will gain insight into approaches that support differentiated instruction, personalized learning, and student engagement. * Attendees will be empowered with skills and resources to bring the best ethical uses of AI into the classroom, becoming equipped to inspire and support students on their journey toward reaching their full potential. * Also hear from gifted education professionals, teachers, graduate students and researchers in the field as we emerge into new paradigms and thinking in gifted education. > Join us to explore the future of gifted education and discover how to GLIMPSE a world for positive but realistic futures.
