Abstract

Although endorsement and certification in gifted was a prevalent topic in the 1970s and 1980s, certification and endorsement needs for gifted and talented education (GATE) teachers has not been discussed extensively in the recent literature. This chapter provides an updated look at endorsement and certification through a review of teacher, parent, student, school counselor, and mental health professional perceptions regarding training needs in gifted education. Thematically, identification and characteristics of the gifted, differentiation for gifted learners, and the social and emotional needs of the gifted are discussed, and recommendations are made regarding pre-service coursework.
