New State GT Plan
The new "Standard of Service" in the Texas State Plan for GT Standard 5.1 requires the teachers of GT students to have their 30 clock hours of professional development. This includes regular classroom teachers NOT just our GT pullout teacher.
That means our teachers need to work towards having their 30 hours right NOW!
If you have your 30 hours already, then please turn in your certificates along with any 6 hour yearly updates on file!
If you don't have your 30 hours, check out the link above!
We are part of the cohort so most sessions are free or offered at a lower cost if taken online.
Our district is working on a plan to provide GT Day 4 and 5 Foundational Trainings within district! We just need teachers to work on getting Days 1, 2 and 3!
Please speak to Mrs. Marshall or Mrs. Royal with any questions you might have and turn in certificates to Erin Juarez!
