Providing support and advocacy for the gifted and talented students of Massachusetts

More than 76,000 gifted students in Massachusetts are learning without proper assessment and support.

 

Our mission is to support and advance the understanding of high potential/gifted children and their special needs.

Finding community is an important part of the MAGE experience; events are just one of the ways you can do that.

  • Join us for our monthly MAGE Days, where we come together to learn, connect, and enjoy special events or learning opportunities.

  • Become a member to join one of our members-only webinars on topics like Asynchronous Learning, Advocating for Acceleration, or Understanding the Zone of Proximal Development in Learners.

  • Have your voice heard at one of our Advocacy planning meetings, providing public comment at the DESE Gifted & Talented Advisory Council Meetings, or writing to your legislator.

There are so many different ways to get involved!

Legislative Update:

Your help is needed!

Javits Funding and the FY24 Budget Update

This week, Senate leaders agreed on the top-line numbers for the FY24 budget. Non-defense, discretionary funding should remain flat relative to the FY23 budget. As appropriators begin their negotiations, now is the time to reach out to your members of Congress and tell them to level fund Javits!

NAGC, working with the Council for Exceptional Children, launched an advocacy action campaign for advocates to easily contact their members of Congress and tell them to save Javits funding. Click the button below to make your voice heard!

  • “If not for MAGE, I would not be effective in those [advocacy] conversations. There is a way to advocate for gifted [education]. But there is an especially particular way to advocate for gifted in Massachusetts. You start from scratch.”
    - Marcela Krishnamurthi

  • “The beauty of having spaces/organizations like MAGE is that people are not alone in their journey to understand Giftedness and/or Twice Exceptionality and the efforts that are needed to meet the needs of these kiddos. I couldn’t imagine my Gifted story without MAGE.”
    - Karen Blumstein

  • “I think 50 years of not serving gifted students caused this absolute lack of even very basic understanding of who they are.”

  • “If not for MAGE, I wouldn't have stepped out of my comfort zone to take opportunities to speak on my discomfort.”
