Carol Fertig

I have been active in the education community for 37 years and involved in gifted education for the past 18 years. At various times, I have been a classroom teacher, gifted education teacher, consultant, writer, editor—you name it. I live in Colorado, but also spend a fair amount of time in Chicago. I have two grown boys: one in Colorado and one in California. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, and golfing. I also like to read, go to plays, and watch foreign movies. Feel free to send me an e-mail.

Thank you so much for mentioning Gifted Education 2.0 in your list of online discussions. We appreciate and welcome new members with additional thoughts, ideas, questions, and comments/advice!

We're looking to be the next generation of Gifted Ed (hence the 2.0 label), bringing together a global community of parents, educators, administrators, gen ed teachers, and all other gifted ed stakeholders!

I appreciate you helping to get the word out about the good work going on!
