Ann Harrison

Gifted Child…

Gifted Woman…

Gifted Spirit…

 

Ann Harrison has been a force in gifted education in eastern North Carolina for many years. After attending Confratute in the early 1980s, Ann implemented programs like the Enrichment Triad Model which made gifted programming available to a diverse group of students. Ann used her expertise to develop gifted certification programs for teachers which still serve as the basis of today’s licensure courses at East Carolina University. Though Ann’s efforts have touched many aspects of gifted education in the region, her emphasis on gifted underachievers and the identification of diverse gifted learners has had impact at the national level.

The Ann Harrison Service Award is an award will be presented annually to a person whose innovative approach has positively influenced gifted education in eastern North Carolina. The award will be given each fall at the ECU Gifted Education Conference.
