The Gifted Education Program provides advanced training for certified teachers to work with gifted and talented children and to work with other teachers on a consultant and/or collaborative basis. These are some of the conceptual starting points that practicing teachers enrolled in the program explore. These starting points include a look into twelve specific traits that are considered by some experts to be representative of giftedness, outside of IQ alone. The Master of Arts in Gifted Education is a 36-credit hour program that includes five courses required for the Florida Endorsement in Gifted Education. In addition, courses in this program include topic areas in foundations of research, teacher leadership, instructional technology, electives, and a supervised practicum. Emphasis is placed on developing specific skills in identification of gifted students, focusing on the characteristics and needs of special populations, assessing students? cognitive and affective strengths, modifying educational programs to develop gifted students? potential, and consulting with gifted students, their families and teachers.
