Summer Enrichment Workshop at the University of Alabama

Summer Enrichment Workshop (SEW), the annual program for gifted and talented students sponsored by the Program for Gifted and Talented in Special Education at The University of Alabama, is embarking on its thirty-second year.  The majority of teachers in SEW are graduate interns working toward a degree/certification in gifted education, most of them already teaching in school gifted programs throughout Alabama.  Other teachers, including a team of Master Teachers of the Gifted and Talented who assist with supervision and instruction, are experienced teachers of gifted and talented students from schools in the Tuscaloosa area.  SEW 2010 is directed by Dr. Jane Newman, Associate Professor in the Gifted and Talented Program, College of Education.

Parents and (hopefully) educators of GT students understand how important it is to keep the learning going throughout the year. If you have the means and time, summer programs at universities are a great way to instill the concept of lifelong learning in your students.
