Regional Network System

Professional development is offered in regions throughout the state based on the needs of its administrative units (AUs). The Gifted Education Regional Consultants (GERCs) work collaboratively with their regions to provide professional development and technical support that is relevant to their diverse needs and interests of stakeholders.

For a regional list of professional development opportunities, contact the GERC for the designated Colorado region.
