Mini-Conferences

SAGE hosts a mini-conference each season on the campus where the SAGE office is located. Each conference has a
theme geared toward educating, supporting and interacting with gifted children, families and school representatives.
SAGE members get free admission for themselves and their family at each of these events.

SAGE Gifted Advocacy for Private/Parochial Schools (GAPS)

GAPS partners specifically with educators, administrators and parents in the private/parochial sectors to share ideas and promote awareness of the special needs of gifted and talented children. SAGE supports the gifted children and their families in finding schools that meet their child's unique cognitive needs.

Metro Council

Established in the 1980s for gifted teachers and coordinators, this collaborative service creates an opportunity for networking, exchanging ideas, and problem-solving. Participants are devoted to enhancing the education of gifted children
in the Greater St. Louis area by sharing their learning tools, approaches and teaching experiences. 

Student Auxiliary

SAGE identifies gifted students for inclusion in this group of community-minded, high-achieving individuals. These students volunteer their time to speak at local, state and national gifted conferences. Conducting interviews, research, and group sessions are among their responsibilities.

Speakers and Presentations

Members of the SAGE Board of Directors give presentations at gifted state and national conferences. SAGE also sponsors meetings and conferences about giftedness and related topics, and can arrange for experienced speakers and presenters to address gifted topics at organizational meetings and schools. Topics are relevant to the unique needs and characteristics of gifted children. These events are open to the public.
