Gifted and Talented Learners


(30 credits)

The specialization in Gifted and Talented Learners is designed for previously certified/licensed teachers seeking an endorsement as an intervention specialist who teaches gifted and talented learners. In addition, this degree or credential may allow teachers to work as Gifted Coordinators in many school districts. The multi-dimensional program provides training in meeting the needs of a broad range of gifted learners including culturally diverse children, females, those with dual exceptionalities (LD/Gifted, ADD/Gifted, etc.), underachievers, and those with special talents. The program provides opportunities for interested individuals to develop knowledge and skills in cultivating creativity and dealing with children’s families and other professionals regarding gifted issues. Graduates are adept at understanding the continuum of services from which teachers and schools can choose to meet the needs of gifted, talented, high achieving and high performing students in a variety of settings. Participation in the program enhances skills in classroom teaching, counseling, administrative decision-making, and individualized intervention, as well as collaboration and leadership skills within the broader educational community. The entire Gifted and Talented Program is available online.
