This 12-credit online graduate certificate program is available to students enrolled in master's and doctoral programs in many fields at Rutgers University, and is open to all with a bachelor's degree. The certificate program is designed to help New Jersey educators, administrators, and parents meet the challenges of educating gifted children. This special program was developed with input from district superintendents, teachers, parents, the Educational Information and Resource Center, and the statewide advocates for gifted children, including the New Jersey Association for Gifted Children. The curriculum was developed in alignment with state and national standards and addresses foundations and theories of gifted education, the social and emotional development of the gifted child, curriculum design and implementation, pedagogy, instructional strategies, and the development and administration of a gifted education program.
