Gifted courses are for teachers currently teaching gifted students and those interested in teaching gifted students. Each Gifted course is 60 points for a total of 300 hours for the Gifted endorsement. Teachers currently teaching Gifted must take 2 courses per year to not be considered out of field. An endorsement is a onetime requirement, does not have to be renewed like a certification and rolls over each time you recertify. The gifted endorsement is K-12 and in order to teach gifted kids you must have the certification for whatever grade/subject area you are teaching as well as have or be working towards the gifted endorsement.
Presently, we offer the following courses through face-to-face and e-learning opportunities:
- Nature and Needs of the Gifted
- Guidance & Counseling
- Curriculum for the Gifted
- The Theory & Development of Creativity
- Special Populations in Gifted
