What should be offered to teachers in the required six-hour annual update?
The decision not to mandate what should be offered as six-hour update training was deliberate. It was the intent of the law that this on-going professional development for teachers who provide instruction and services for gifted students is individualized for each teacher. The annual update should be based on individual teacher needs related to the objectives of the gifted program. The teacher and his/her supervisor should collaboratively make this decision.
