G/T Awareness Week takes place the first full week of April every year and highlights the importance of gifted education across Texas. The week encourages educators and advocates to celebrate gifted learners, strengthen understanding of advanced learning needs, and elevate the impact of strong gifted programs.
The statewide recognition was established through the passage of HCR 64 (Curry and Parker), a resolution championed by TAGT that designated the first full week of April as G/T Awareness Week in Texas for 10 years.
Throughout the week, TAGT shares resources, sparks conversation, and invites educators to share why gifted education matters using #whyGT.
G/T Awareness Week 2027 will be recognized April 5–9.
TAGT is preparing updated resources to help you celebrate, advocate, and start meaningful conversations in your school or district. Check back for educator tools, shareable graphics, prompts, and ideas you can use throughout the week.
In the meantime, you can begin thinking about how your campus or district might recognize the week and highlight the needs, strengths, and experiences of gifted learners.
Gifted education can sometimes feel overlooked or misunderstood, but G/T Awareness Week creates a dedicated moment to bring visibility to the work happening across Texas.
Participating can help you:
Whether you lead a district program, support gifted learners in the classroom, or advocate for services on your campus, this week is an opportunity to help others better understand why gifted education matters.
TAGT members receive reduced pricing on professional learning and access to a statewide community of gifted education professionals, and resources.
