The Maryland State Advisory Council on Gifted and Talented Education appointed by State Superintendent of Schools Nancy S. Grasmick hosted a reception on February 16th celebrating the Governor’s Proclamation of February as Gifted and Talented Education month. The proclamation affirms that Maryland, recognized as having the number one school system in the nation, now aims to reach world-class standards and must identify and nurture those gifted and talented students in all cultural groups who have the potential to perform at remarkably high levels. It was inspiring to hear from students from all across our state speak about their passion for learning, the support they received from their teachers and family members, and the impact of gifted and talented program opportunities on their ability to realize their potential.
