The Endorsement Program in Gifted
and Talented is designed to provide teachers with
the knowledge and skills to work with gifted and
talented students in P-12 classrooms, as well as to
provide professional leadership in schools and
school systems in effective and differentiated
instruction for gifted and talented learners.
Two options are available for
candidates seeking certification in Gifted and
Talented. Candidates who already hold teaching
certification in another field may take the
endorsement program only and become certified in
Gifted and Talented. Candidates may also pursue the
endorsement as part of a Master’s or Rank I Program.
All courses in the Gifted and
Talented Endorsement Program are carefully designed
to assure synchronous experiences to the Conceptual
Framework, the professional content standards, the
state performance standards, and Georgetown
College’s program model: to develop competent and
caring educators, committed to a spirit of service
and learning.
The Endorsement Program in Gifted
and Talented consists of a 12-hour core which
includes courses in Foundations of Gifted Education,
Curriculum and Instruction in Gifted Education,
Differentiating for Gifted and High-Achieving
Learners in the Regular Classroom, and a Practicum
in Gifted Education.
