Gifted Education Resources and Links

Did you know we have an internationally known gifted education research, training, and programming center right here in Iowa?

The Belin-Blank Center, located at the University of Iowa, is a leading institution in the field of gifted education. Their web site (see Related Links below) contains a wealth of information on gifted education opportunities for our students!

Another good link (thanks to Carol Urban, Underwood Elementary Second Grade Teacher) is the Family Education web site (see Related Links below). Once you get to the home page, click on the age group you want, then "Special Needs", then "Gifted & Talented".
