The Advanced Gifted Education Course is a follow up to the initial Provisional Gifted Education Course. This is open to any participants who have completed their provisional endorsement or have some training or experience teaching gifted students. This course is not recommended for teachers new to gifted education.

The focus of this course will be an in depth, intensive exploration of critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, questioning and depth and complexity. Participants will complete the class with new strategies they can implement to provide students with higher levels of rigor, questioning, and thinking.

Completion of this 45 hour training (25 contact hours, additional 20 hours completed independently) will contribute towards an AZ Gifted Endorsement. Individual districts must approve professional development hours per gifted endorsements regulations.
