Minnesota Educators of the Gifted and Talented (Megt) Foundation

Gifted students in Minnesota are an underserved population.  Since the onset of NCLB, the achievement test scores have shown a continued downward slide in performance of the top 25% of the student population.  And it is not surprising. Teachers in classrooms across the state have focused their attention on the lowest performing students to bring their scores up.  

The MEGT Foundation provides grants to teachers across the state working with gifted and talented students.  Grants are used to support innovative ideas and professional development.  To date over $10,000 has been distributed to teachers in Minnesota schools.  Please consider support this important work.
