Purposeful Professional Development: Planning Positive Experiences for Teachers of the Gifted and Talented Academic Article

abstract

• Maximum academic achievement for gifted and talented students can only be accomplished when teachers are given the tools, support, and training needed to strengthen instructional skills and develop knowledge of the social and emotional needs of the students they serve (Feldhusen, 1997). Providing meaningful professional development to develop or enhance these skills is a challenge for administrators responsible for the planning and implementation of training experiences for teachers of gifted students.
