Co-Chair Warren County Consortium for Student Enrichment Port Murray, New Jersey, United States
Short Description: Gifted coordinators in isolated districts can leverage the power of their programs and vastly increase student opportunities by joining together to form consortia, pooling their strengths and efforts. With minimal financial investment and tasks distributed among members, a rich schedule of offerings is possible. Educators gain working partners, while students benefit from competition and collaboration within an expanded peer network.
