Do you have teachers who will begin serving in your G/T program next year? 

Have they completed the required 30-hours of foundational training? 

Region 4 has a new, differentiated comprehensive option!

Do you need your annual 6-hour administrator update?

Scroll down for details about administrator-focused sessions. 

All courses align to the Texas State Plan (TSP) requirements for the G/T 30-hour training requirement and annual 6-hour training updates for teachers and administrators.

Districts make a local decision regarding what courses to accept. We encourage educators to check with their district G/T lead prior to registering for any session.
