This portfolio item summarizes an email the creator sent to participants after their first professional learning session. The email reminded participants to bring their laptops to the next session to explore the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) website. Exploring the website would help participants better understand NAGC standards discussed in the training and advocate for gifted learners, supporting the goals of increasing awareness of standards and preparing gifted students for their futures.

Owner/Creator Author Site Found Author/NAGC.org Description of Item Content This email was sent from me to those who had participated in my Day 1 session. This was a reminder/request that the participants bring their laptops with them so that they could spend some time perusing the NAGC website. Relation to Goals/Significance This related to Goals 1 and 3. In order to make the participants more aware of NAGC standards, I thought the standards would have more significance if the participants knew what the NAGC was all about. Some had not heard of NAGC before my PL. I wanted to give them an opportunity to explore the website and learn about NAGC. I hoped that this would not only help them appreciate the significance of the standards and make learning and retaining them more meaningful, but that this might ignite a spark that could lead them to advocate more stringently for gifted learners. Better learning conditions for gifted learners enhance their educational experiences and make them more prepared to face whatever comes after high school. This was also part of Goal 1. Acquisition Challenge Level I sent an email and led them to a website. 1=Easy; 5=Difficult Rating=1
