GEAC Programs


 

 GEAC offers three core programs in support of students, teachers and parents.

 

 

 

n Annual GEAC Grants to Quest Teachers

 

Each winter, GEAC sponsors a grant program for Quest teachers to request special items they would like for their classroom. Past grants have included field trips, materials for special projects, supplementary curriculum, training, books, cameras, software, and science kits. 

  

n Fall Direct-to-Classroom Checks for Quest Teachers

 

Each August, before the school year begins, GEAC provides every Quest teacher with a check.  Teachers use the money for items such as additional school supplies, enrichment materials, supplemental curriculum, learning tools, novel sets, organizational materials for the classroom, etc. The initial amount was $150/teacher. GEAC was able to increase it to $175, and now $200.

 

 

nn       Professional Development, Education & Conferences

Throughout the year, GEAC organizes, initiates, and funds educational classes, information sessions, and conferences for gifted families, and supplements professional development for Quest teachers.
