A breakthrough resource on gifted education course design!

For universities seeking accreditation of their gifted education teacher preparation programs, the program must be aligned with NCATE-approved standards. This guidebook helps university personnel design or revise gifted education programs to incorporate the ten new standards developed by NAGC, CEC, and TAG. In addition to the CD-ROM with an annotated bibliography of the research and literature on which the standards are based, professors and program coordinators will find:

- Techniques for aligning coursework, clinical practice, and field experience with standards
- Sample syllabi
- Information on teacher assessment
- Details of the challenges associated with the new standards
