GT Professional Development 

• K-12 core classes are one layer of G/T services for our students. This training will review nature and needs of G/T students, identification and assessment, creativity, and differentiation.

• 30 Hour (Days 1-5) Foundational G/T training is available in 2 ways:

  • Asychronous, self-paced KickUp 30 Hour Collection

  • Region 20 (search “G/T” and look for Day 1,2,3,4, and 5)

• Coursework must be completed by end of first semester.

• If coursework is completed through Region 20, upload certificate in KickUp as an out-of-district event. This event will then be routed to your campus administration for approval before it appears on your transcript. 

• Already have your 30 hours? Please upload your certificate information to this Google Form. 

• If the 30 Hour Foundational GT training has previously been completed before beginning in Comal ISD, please upload documentation to tinyurl.com/gtpdverification

  • If certificate or records cannot be provided or found, then the 30 Hour coursework must be completed again. Please follow directions for first year core teachers to access coursework.

• If 30 Hour training was previously completed, then a 6 hour GT annual update is required.

  • These 6 hours can come from a variety of sources: Comal U courses with GT credit, PreAP/AP Institutes, PBL training, Region 20 GT courses, or through the Asynchronous 6 Hour GT Update Training KickUp self-paced course.

  • If training is entered in KickUp and shows GT credit, no further action is needed. If you submitted 6 hours of GT PD via out-of-district event, it will appear on your transcript after your campus administration approves it.
