In general, regular education teachers need to obtain a minimum of 60 hours of HQPD to service gifted students during the first four years of providing gifted service.

HQPD with a gifted focus taken in 24 months prior to the designation of a teacher as a gifted service provider.

Excess hours will count toward subsequent years.

Hours for each year must be completed by the end of that school year.

1 graduate credit hour can convert to 30 contact hours (per your district policy).

You will need to keep a record of your gifted HQPD hours to turn into your administrator .
