The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) invites directors and coordinators of gifted student programs to collaborate in a monitoring process that continually improves gifted student learning and education. This process, called the Colorado -Gifted Education Review, or C-GER, is a shared responsibility of Administrative Units (AU) and CDE. In this joint effort, C-GER increases the capacity of educators and educational systems to identify and program for gifted learners. The results of C-GER allow each AU to prioritize areas for improvement as demonstrated in program plans and goals.
