New teachers who provide instruction and services to gifted and talented students must complete thirty (30) hours of professional development (PD) in gifted/talented education. Teachers who have completed their initial 30 hours of GT PD, and provide instruction and services to gifted and talented students, must take a minimum of six (6) hours of GT PD annually. Advanced Placement (AP) Institutes, Rice Summer Institute, and Laying the Foundation can be used by Pre-AP/AP teachers as their annual GT six (6) hour update.
