Gifted and Talented sponsors from McAlester Public Schools attended the Oklahoma Association for Gifted, Creative and Talented (OAGCT) Conference today at the Tulsa Tech Center.

During the conference, MPS educators had the opportunity to hear keynote speaker Dr. Brandi Klepper from Drury University and participate in numerous breakout sessions focused on professional development and strategies for supporting gifted and talented students.

We are excited for our sponsors to bring new ideas, resources, and strategies back to McAlester Public Schools and share what they learned with our GT students. Opportunities like these help our educators continue to grow while finding new ways to challenge, inspire, and support our students!
