Colorado Department of Education Website - Office of Gifted Education

This site belongs to Colorado's governing body which ensures quality education in our state. Many lawmakers, educators, professors and community members support and influence the work of this department. School districts have to adhere to the policies and rules that the CDE outlines.

I chose to add this website to my list of resources as I have used it in the past. Before I had my endorsement in gifted education, I sought professional development here. There are seven on-line modules that any interested educator can register for to learn and received continuing education credit. As a teacher of the gifted and talented, I have used this site to improve my knowledge of the Advanced Learning Plan and the reasoning behind it. As well, when I wanted more information on the twice-exceptional learner, I found professional development and resources to expand my skills to better support these students. All in all, this is a very important resource to honor the needs of our gifted students.
