Fall CLD and Gifted session starts Sept. 1

Course sequence

  • Level I: Learn about the unique needs of high-ability students from diverse populations, strategies for talent development, gifted identification, cultural competence, and culturally fair assessment.
  • Level II: Explore assessment, language acquisition, literacy development, academic vocabulary, and strategies to increase rigor for CLD students.
  • Level III: Apply teaching strategies that build critical thinking and cognitive academic language proficiency through a case study or professional development plan.

Courses must be taken in order, but do not all need to be completed. Each course counts for 15 CEUs toward ELPD relicensure. There is no cost to participants, thanks to SJBOCES and DSD Gifted funds. Optional graduate credit from ASU is available for an additional fee of $60 per course.
