Amplify BrillianceH.M. Moore Center

About

Bridging Research, Practice, and Possibility.

Connecting families, educators, researchers, and communities to create equitable pathways for whole-child development and talent discovery.

Amplify Brilliance is the work of the H.M. Moore Center for Giftedness, Talent, and Human Development. Gifted education is one area of our expertise; our commitment is to the whole child and to the partnerships around every learner.

Mission

To serve as a trusted, research-informed resource for families, educators, schools, higher education institutions, and community organizations by translating research into meaningful practices, strengthening collaborative partnerships, and advancing equitable opportunities that nurture the academic, social, emotional, and developmental needs of the whole child.

Vision

To create a future where research, educational practice, families, and communities are intentionally connected through authentic, sustainable partnerships that expand opportunities for every learner.

We envision an educational landscape where historically underrepresented and underserved learners have access to meaningful pathways for talent development, families are valued as essential partners, and schools and communities work collectively to recognize strengths, remove systemic barriers, and support the success and well-being of the whole child.

Guiding beliefs

What guides the work

Belonging

People should feel seen, heard and respected.

Access before identification

Opportunity mustn’t depend only on who is already labeled or recognized.

Strengths and possibility

We lead with assets, agency, joy and growth.

Research into action

Rigorous evidence should be usable in everyday practice.

    Creating affirming environments that support the whole child.

  • Agency and Ownership

    Empowering learners through voice, choice, and self-determination.

  • Amplified Brilliance

    Together, these components create the conditions for Amplified Brilliance.
