The Center for Gifted Studies has provided the leadership for numerous staff development opportunities for teachers and administrators. Personnel at The Center work with Gifted Coordinators in a 44-county region, bringing them to Western for planning and staff development. Workshops for teachers and administrators are offered annually. For example, many people attend the annual Shakertown Symposium, a joint venture with KAGE. In addition to workshops, The Center provides technical assistance to schools and school districts. Frequent requests are made to assist districts in implementing the Gifted Education Regulation and in planning with the faculty to implement primary and middle school programs in ways that lift the learning ceiling. We are very excited about our June 11 workshop featuring gifted expert Susan Winebrenner. Her workshop will focus on Meeting the Needs of Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom . We're limited to 200, so register today! Another service offered is the Gifted and Talented Endorsement. Since 1983, Teacher Education has offered graduate classes to prepare specialists in gifted education. The endorsement in gifted education requires four three-hour graduate courses. We were the first institution in Kentucky to offer the complete sequence of graduate classes annually.
