The Institute is held each June for three days. Participants select one strand of study for the entire Institute. Each strand offers intensive training in a particular area of curriculum development and implementation, incorporating the Integrated Curriculum Model that is the foundation for all Center units of study.
This Institute is designed for gifted program coordinators, other district and building-level administrators, teachers of the gifted, and all classroom teachers who want to enhance their ability to differentiate appropriately for their high ability students.
