Reignite the Spark in GT Professional Learning
Revive Passion. Reclaim Purpose. Reignite GT PD.
Has GT training become a box to check instead of a meaningful opportunity to grow?
Reignite the spark in GT professional development with expert-led, flexible learning that inspires your teachers and empowers your team.
Why GT Teachers Tune Out
Secondhand Learning: With the Train-the-Trainer model, teachers receive filtered or condensed training from a peer, missing out on expert energy, insights, and the interactive experience of learning firsthand.
Generic Content: One-size-fits-all sessions fail to address the specific needs of each teacher, making training feel disconnected from real classroom needs.
Poor Timing: PD often happens at inconvenient times—during testing season, after long days, or when teachers are already stretched thin with their core responsibilities.
Lack of Follow-Up: Without coaching, feedback, or application tools, PD becomes forgettable. Teachers struggle to translate learning into lasting instructional improvement.
Minimal Choice: When teachers have no say in what or how they learn, engagement drops. Autonomy and relevance are key drivers of adult learning motivation.
When GT Teachers Tune Out, Students Miss Out
Competing priorities, staff limitations, and compliance pressures often derail the best plans for meaningful, targeted PD for your GT teachers.
“I found out teachers were going to YouTube for specific strategies. Something had to change.”
— Amy Ellingson, Spring ISD
“Many, many times, teachers were trying to grade papers while we were trying to present. And it just seemed like chaos.”
— Shirley Bachus, Leander ISD
When PD feels irrelevant or inaccessible, even the most passionate educators begin to disengage and gifted students are left under-challenged.
