Welcome to the 91st SCAHPERD Conference! As you know we have experienced a number of challenges in the past year and many individuals are working together to meet these challenges and to make SCAHPERD better and stronger. This is the time of year when we come together to celebrate our friendships, to share our knowledge, to learn and to grow. This year I encourage you to experience new things: to explore topics with which you have limited experience, to learn a new skill, to meet new friends, to reconnect with your roots in the profession, to open yourself to becoming a better educator, regardless of years of experience, and to celebrate the unity that makes us SCAHPERD. In other words, experience BREAKING OUT OF YOUR SHELL! Dr. Edie Ellis SCAHPERD, President
The newest version of the Best Practices Manual for the South Carolina Department of Education’s gifted and talented artistic process will be discussed and explored in detail.
