One-day symposiums/workshops?

YA workshops?

Gifted teacher education?

On-line university?

Experiential learning workshop for kids/teens? (group dynamics, etc.)

Advocacy seminars for parents? This would have to be state-specific, or at least type-of-state-specific (in the sense that a lot of what works in PA wouldn't do any good in MA), but even in places with no laws to help us, some parents get cooperation and some don't, and it would be good to learn from experience.

I agree with Aimee, although I think there should be working sessions on re-forming advocacy. There's plenty of research on the right thing to do for educating kids, now we need to think of smarter ways to advocate. We can't depend on legislation to make a difference, nor can we realistically expect funding issues to change. But what else is possible? How do we address the key issues with advocacy and move beyond them?

Assuming we do this, are there specific national experts you would recommend? Are there specific state experts either for states we will be in or whose skills/knowledge are transferable?
