  BRAGTS Gets Involved !
 

The BRAGTS serves as both a professional society for Gifted and Talented educators, as well as a grass roots organization for parents with students in the East Baton Rouge Parish G&T program.  We sponsor parent workshops, training programs for teachers, and operate a small competitive grants program funding educational materials and research for G&T teachers in the EBR system.  We also provide stipends to help some exceptional students participate in special educational opportunities, and sponsor our own Teacher of the Year (TOY) awards where students nominate and honor their most significant mentors.  

Parenting and Educating the Gifted or Talented Child involves many challenges and requires special skills.  The BRAGTS promotes networking of parents and teachers for a better understanding of these complex issues and serves as a resource point for useful information.   

Our Gifted and Talented program is quite unique and well worth keeping.  The BRAGTS maintains links with parents and teachers to help assure that our program maintains strong community support and that it continues to bring our children the services they need. 

We encourage you to get involved, join in, and help make a difference.
