Schools across the state of Missouri will celebrate the first Gifted Education Awareness Week next month, thanks to the efforts of teacher Phoebe Pohlman and her students.   DESE has designated the second week of February (Feb. 10-14) for this celebration of gifted education, its students, and its educators.   Ms. Pohlman and her students used the skills they are developing in gifted education to effectively communicate the reasons why they believed the state should designate a week for this recognition.
