Welcome to the Homepage of OATAG:  The Oregon Association for Talented and Gifted!  We are an education and outreach organization dedicated to serving the needs of Oregon’s Gifted and Highly-Capable/High-Potential Students.  OATAG is also the state-affiliate of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC).

The Mission of OATAG is: “OATAG advocates for the needs of talented and gifted children; serves as a resource for families, educators, and communities; and provides direction for excellence in education.”

We invite you to join our cause.  We have free and paid memberships available for anyone interested in supporting our efforts to strive for educational excellence in Oregon.

OATAG is also pleased to be the fiscal sponsor of the Oregon Spelling Bee!  We are also the statewide sponsor of the Nicholas Green Award for Oregon.

OATAG currently offers updates via several different formats.  Use the icons in the upper left corner of the page to sign-in with Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Yahoo Message Board, or by E-mail.

We currently have several hundred members who are all interested in advancing the cause of educational excellence in Oregon.  Is is especially critical now because of looming budget shortfalls that we join together to prevent the crippling effect of cutting our efforts and resources dedicated to providing TAG and high-ability/high-potential students the greatest educational opportunities available.
