<p>Hello, All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I know this is not a popular topic, but I am wondering how districts are approaching the 60 clock hours of PD required for a regular classroom teacher to teach gifted students. Will group presentations by a gifted PD provider be used for all the hours?
Will a combination of direct contact and online PD be used? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am working with a district that is making a good faith effort to provide this service to identified students, and we are looking at innovative ways to reach the 60 clock hour per year professional development requirement.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I appreciate any suggestions!<br>
</p>
