Description
The recent reauthorization of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) contains language that requires teacher education programs to include the needs of gifted and talented students in the coursework that all teacher candidates receive. NAGC has approved three standards for what ALL teachers should know and be able to do for gifted students, and has been working on materials to help regular education professors and instructors include this information in their classes. Members of the HEOA work group will provide a “sneak peek” at the upcoming book targeted to instructors of general education foundations, methods, and field experience classes.
