Your posts about our advocate program and the role of our SSA's, was recently brought to my attention. I apologize for not following up sooner, as I recently joined the team at GiftedandTalented.com. We see the Advocate Program and our parent partners as an important voice in ensuring more students around the country and around the world can continue to be pushed to reach their highest potential.
When Stanford chose our team to work with them on EPGY, they wanted an organization that was committed to building out the courseware, sharing our courses with a larger audience, and creating a community of parents, students, and supporters of accelerated learning. Our team including educators (like myself), academicians, and parent enthusiasts is fully dedicated to those goals.
I understand that there may be some confusion regarding the ability to adjust account settings and controls. Our goal with the Advocate Program is for our parents to be able to support their advanced learner 100% (and let our well-informed Customer Experience Team handle the rest). Our Advocate Program is in its infancy and we appreciate any and all feedback on how we can best meet the needs of our parents who are often the only voice in their school fighting for advanced learning funding, tools and resources. I would love the opportunity to have a call with each of you so I can better understand what settings, tools and features would be most helpful to you. Parents like you who care deeply about education are exactly the folks we want to help empower in our goal of supporting our brightest youth. Please email or call me at your earliest convenience.
Warm Regards,
