Welcome to the Maquoketa Valley CSD Gifted and Talented education blog! As G/T Coordinator, it's always my goal to improve communication with teachers, students, and parents, as it relates to gifted education. This blog will be utilized to:

1. provide program information.
2. provide teachers and students with information about G/T related contests, events, and programs.
3. provide teachers with informative items that can be applied in the classroom.
4. communicate with students, teachers, and parents, through the use of the comment area on each post. 

To leave a comment (or question), you may either log in using one of the available registered profile options, or you may do so through the "Anonymous" profile option -- just make sure to sign your name to your comment/question. I'll reply back to you as soon as possible.

So, please, visit this blog throughout the school year for more information and updates. To make the navigation of this site a bit easier, each post contains a "Label". The labels I've used are listed right above my picture. By clicking on a specific label, it will only bring up the posts with that label -- easy sorting! (Note: If you need to contact me about something that is not post related, please do so using my school email address: ronbesler@maquoketa-v.k12.ia.us.) Have a great school year!
Mr. Besler
