What is the HAGT LatAm Conference?
The HAGT LatAm Conference is a regional online gathering designed to support the needs of highly able, gifted, and talented learners in Latin America.

Why it matters
Many highly able learners in Latin America go unrecognized because they don’t fit traditional definitions of giftedness. Others may struggle with social-emotional needs, twice-exceptionality (2e), or disconnection from the school system. The HAGT LatAm Conference shines a light on these learners and offers strategies that are inclusive, sustainable, and grounded in best practice.

Why you should attend
This conference is designed for a wide range of educators and professionals working in or with schools across Latin America. Whether you're a classroom teacher, learning support specialist, counselor, or school leader, you'll find practical insights and strategies to apply in your context. Curriculum coordinators, administrators, and education consultants who are shaping school systems or programs will also benefit from the conversations around equity, identification, and inclusive practices. Even if you're just beginning your journey into gifted education, this conference offers an accessible and welcoming space to learn. No prior experience or formal gifted program is required—just a commitment to better understanding and supporting highly able learners.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the LatAm Conference, participants will be able to:
Design culturally responsive gifted education practices that account for linguistic diversity, contextual equity, and regional educational constraints in Latin America.
Implement equitable identification and assessment strategies for high-ability and twice-exceptional learners in under-resourced or multilingual environments.
Differentiate instruction across classroom populations by creating tiered, inquiry-driven, and extension tasks that engage gifted learners while supporting peers.
Foster social-emotional growth and identity development in gifted learners, especially in contexts of under-recognition, perfectionism, and asynchronous development.
Leverage community, family, and school partnerships to advocate for and sustain support systems for high-ability learners (including parent education, policy advocacy, and school programming).
Integrate real classroom case studies from Latin America to analyze challenges, successes, and scalable strategies in gifted education across diverse settings.
Develop actionable plans or protocols to begin, expand, or refine gifted education initiatives in your school or district—even with limited resources.
Cultivate a regional professional learning network of Latin American educators and specialists committed to growth, collaboration, and shared problem-solving.
Educators, researchers, coordinators, psychologists, and school leaders from across Latin America will come together for a transformative one-day experience focused on designing, implementing, and leading high-quality programs for high-ability and gifted learners in our regional context.
Whether your school is just beginning to explore gifted education or you’re looking to deepen and scale an existing initiative, HAGT LatAm Conference 2025 will provide inspiration, tools, and a strong professional learning community.
