Gifted and Talented 6-Hour Updates

Texas law requires teachers to participate in 30 hours of gifted and talented training to be eligible to be a part of program services. Additionally, teachers must receive six hours of training annually to maintain that eligibility.

We have a variety of online and in-person offerings that meet the state requirements for teacher, administrator, and counselor training.

In addition to our sessions that are offered to the general public, districts can also request custom training that meets the direct needs of their staff members.
