Liaisons for Midwest Academic Talent Search

The liaisons are available to provide assistance and support to any group involved in the education of gifted students. Assistance may include helping schools and school districts to become involved in the Midwest Academic Talent Search; assisting already participating schools to design educational and support programs for talent search students; and working with parent groups, other educational and state organizations, and institutions of higher education who are involved in gifted education.

The liaisons are members of the MATS Advisory Board and are knowledgeable about the talent search and the utilization of scores for planning educational programs. Having worked in the field of gifted education for many years in their home states, they are also aware of the needs of their local communities. Each of them brings to the position a broad base of skills and experiences in the field of education that uniquely qualified them to serve as liaisons. We urge you to call on the liaisons during the upcoming academic year for assistance.
