Gifted Education Regional Consultant Grant

The Gifted Education Regional Grant Program provides technical assistance and professional development in gifted education through qualified staff. Funds support part-time regional consultants, professional development, resources, materials, and events based on regional needs. Colorado is divided into ten regions, each with a Gifted Education Regional Consultant (GERC) who aids local gifted education directors. The GERCs facilitate regional meetings, professional development, resource development, and compliance with the Exceptional Children's Educational Act (ECEA). The grant aims to enhance the capacity of educators to support students with exceptional abilities. Eligible applicants are educational administrative units (AUs) within Colorado. The grant is ongoing, with annual appropriations for the program. For contact, please refer to your specific region.
