NEW MEXICO ASSOCIATION FOR THE GIFTED
Gifted Educators' Resources
Gifted educators have a reputation for sharing their best practices, best resources, and best hopes for one another. Professional educators among the members of the New Mexico Association for the Gifted live up to this reputation! This page is dedicated to time-honored and classroom-tested resources. We at the New Mexico Association for the Gifted hope these resource manuals, units, lessons, research articles, and links will continue to aide teachers of the gifted.
If you have resources, which you would like to share with gifted educators around the state and around the nation, please contact our publicity officer:
