Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices (or for those who don't have GPS, with Google Maps). It costs nothing (unless you buy a GPS), and hooks the kids, since they have to look up the caches and their clues online. And then it gets them outdoors! Caches can be a quick step from the car, or a long hike through a park. Caches can be micro--the size of 2/3 of a woman's pinky--or large--the size of a railway toolbox. They can be virtual (upload a photo of you with the find) or puzzle (solve the puzzle to find the coordinates). Geocaching is a gifted family game, if ever there was one!

SENG is proud to announce a significant new program to honor educators who have demonstrated commitment to helping a gifted child. In discussing the needs of gifted children, by necessity we often focus on needs that are not being met. The SENG Honor Roll Program provides the opportunity to give credit to schools and educators who tirelessly serve gifted children. Educators who care to make a difference in the lives of gifted children should be valued and recognized for their efforts. We all know special people whose efforts have been pivotal in the lives of gifted children.
Educators nominated to The SENG Honor Roll will receive the following recognition:
| The educator will receive a letter from SENG advising him or her of the honor, who honored the educator, and information about SENG resources and about The SENG Honor Roll. |
| The school district's Board of Education will receive a certificate to present to the educator, along with information about SENG resources and about The SENG Honor Roll. |
| The educator will be listed, by state, on the new SENG Honor Roll page on the SENG website. |
| The educator will be entered into a drawing, to be held March 30, for one of three free registrations for the 25th Annual "Silver Anniversary" SENG Conference, where the educator will be honored at a dinner. |
| All SENG Honor Roll educators nominated by March 30 will be honored with a listing in the 25th Annual "Silver Anniversary" Conference Program Book. |
SENG believes that The SENG Honor Roll will send a positive message to educators. There are three goals for The SENG Honor Roll Program:
| Provide local and national recognition for educators who make a difference in the lives of gifted children. |
| Encourage other educators to learn about the needs of gifted children and how to meet those needs. |
| Raise funds for SENG programs that support gifted children, educators and parents of gifted children. |
Anyone may honor an educator with a nomination to The SENG Honor Roll. Simply submit the SENG Honor Roll Nomination Form with a minimum donation of $50 per educator. Your donation is tax deductible and will be promptly acknowledged with a receipt.
If you haven't already done so, please fill out this survey by October 30th. Thanks! A Survey is to assess the impact of the report A Nation Deceived on attitudes, practices, and policies about academic acceleration...

Friends:
I have been corresponding with Jay Mathews, the influential education columnist for the Washington Post about a story he wrote last week. In the conclusion to his column, he wrote:
"Many parents around the country complain of difficulties in getting accelerated courses and enriched lessons for their gifted children.
... But
I have yet to find any adults who were designated gifted as children and did not think they were able to find at least some of the intellectual stimulation they craved at school or on their own. I also don't find much correlation, either in the research or in my interviews, between success in life and gifted education during childhood."
I wrote to object to this conclusion.
He responded to me that:
"I am all for acceleration, as i think i have made clear many times in all my writing about AP and IB, but i find it odd that i cannot, despite many requests to gifted child advocates, find any cases of families willing to tell me stories of failure to accelerate their gifted kids in this area. That kind of story would allow me to make yr good points in a vivid way. If you have a recent story like that, or know someone else who does, please send them to me."
So I wrote him back to ask for permission to ask you to send him these stories, and he reiterated his request for them.
I have been reading such stories for years--so all of you who have had these problems, PLEASE send them to him. I think you could extend your comments to the result of a lack of appropriate instruction in general, not just to grade acceleration, and explain why access to these services is important for your child. When he writes about acceleration he doesn't just mean grade acceleration but also advanced classes. Please keep your letters as short and to the point as possible--he gets a ton of mail.
If he doesn't hear from you, I can't blame him for assuming that gifted students in general are getting the "intellectual stimulation" they need in school and their parents are complaining about nothing!
His column is very influential. Every decision-maker in DC reads the Post and many read his columns. If he is persuaded that there is in fact a problem with inadequate g/t services and that a lack of services can hurt kids it will make a huge difference.
Please write to him directly: Jay Mathews mathewsj@washpost.com
If you copy me, I'd appreciate it, because otherwise I will spend all month wondering whether anyone responded.
Feel free to forward this letter. I think it would be especially interesting for him to hear from families that felt compelled to home-school their children.
Thanks,
Margaret
A Survey is to assess the impact of the report A Nation Deceived on attitudes, practices, and policies about academic acceleration...

In the literature, there is little opportunity for parents and family members to share their experiences. We'd like to help parents and families to share their stories so others can gain insights and advice for raising their own gifted children.
Share your family or parenting stories on our surveys. The second phase of the process will invite parents and families to take part in interviews to gain additional insights about growing up with gifted kids (or other family members). Ultimately, we (Jim Delisle and myself) hope to publish our work as a book for parents looking for assistance who are just realizing (probably through formal identification) that their child is gifted and different than age mates.
Smiles to you! Robert Shultz, Ph.D.

Sorry! Please pardon Hoagies' Gifted Education Page outage of the last 24 hours. We were the victim of incompetent technical support, not hacking. In trying to fix a small problem with their server software, GoDaddy accidentally removed our entire site from the Internet! As of this Saturday morning, Hoagies' Page is no longer hosted at GoDaddy. In spite of nearly a year's paid service remaining at GoDaddy, after a week of trying to work with their technical support, we determined that it's too great a risk to stay with GoDaddy for hosting. Our new ISP is 1and1.com where we hope to have no further problems. Thanks for your patience. -- Carolyn K. |

A second chance! Dr. Andrew Mahoney and the Counseling and Guidance Division of NAGC still need our help with their campaign to address the special needs of counseling gifted children in the standards for graduate counseling programs beginning in the year 2008. Andy's new letter: A Call To Action. And this time, we can send, phone, fax or e-mail cacrep@cacrep.org our letters of support! Please copy all correspondence to Andy Mahoney, for coordination of efforts.
Since rescuing ERIC Clearinghouse for Exceptional Children (ERICEC) on January 1 2004, Hoagies' Gifted Education Page has more than doubled in size... and this year's link-check service bill has done the same, now $449/year! Hoagies' Page receives no government or private support for maintaining ERICEC, nor updating its links (nor for anything else). Please support Hoagies' Page through your individual donations, as well as your purchases through our affiliates links, so that I can go on providing the most accurate and up-to-date links on ALL of Hoagies' Gifted Education Pages. Thank you.
