About Us
At Center for Talent Development (CTD), we believe the best educators don’t just teach; they inspire young people to think big, take risks, and believe in themselves.
These are the educators gifted students need; these are the educators we hire. Join us, and experience the rewards of working within a vibrant learning community while inspiring open and eager young minds.
We believe that:
- Talents and passions need to be identified and nurtured. (opportunity)
- Talents can be developed through learning and practice. (challenge and effort)
- Talent development requires more than content knowledge; it takes supporting the student holistically. (support)
- Exceptional potential exists in every community and culture and deserves to be developed. (community)
- As a nonprofit organization, which is part of an internationally recognized research institution, we model and act as a positive influence on public education and the field at large.
Giftedness is not a state of being. It’s a process--a journey--that involves developing potential into achievement.
