What educational training is available to the GATE teachers in the district?
Throughout the school year and during the summer, Professional Development Academies are offered to all K-12 teachers. Expert teachers in the district, as well as outside educational consultants and speakers, offer classes and forums for teachers to learn about and reflect on instructional practices. Teachers have opportunities to work toward earning specialized certificates in our district including an Academic Accelerated Achievement Certificate, Differentiated Instruction for All Learners Certificate, and a Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Certificate. Teachers are encouraged to attend local, state, and national conferences on gifted education and other current educational topics.
