Davidson Institute for Talent Development and University of Nevada, Reno Offer Online Class in Gifted Education

The Davidson Institute for Talent Development and University of Nevada, Reno, have partnered to offer EDSP 723 - Education for the Gifted. This online three-credit, graduate-level class, which will run from June 10 to August 9, 2013, is designed to introduce key concepts of gifted education to teachers in order to help them better serve the gifted population.
