Professional Learning Experiences
All professional learning experiences meet state and national standards for teachers of gifted and talented students. Participants engage in a variety of activities depending upon the size of the audience and the room accommodations. Audience size, room accommodations, technology access, as well as supplies and materials are negotiated by school, district, and event.

Parent Programs
All programs for parents of gifted students are discussed at length with district or school representatives. Audience sizes, room accommodations, and technology access are negotiated by school, district, and event. They are typically 60 minutes in length followed by questions and answers, but can be customized.
Program Evaluation
The scope and intensity of the evaluation is negotiated with the district or school. A full program evaluation includes interviewing multiple stakeholders, as well as reviewing print and electronic documentation. Programs are evaluated according to national standards and state standards, such as NAGC's Pre-K to Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards and the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students.
Other Services
Other services are negotiated on a case by case basis depending on the needs of the school, district, or parent group.
