This dissertation explores the perspectives of teachers of the gifted in relation to how they perceive competencies and characteristics of teacher effectiveness compared to NAGC&-CEC recommended standards of teacher education, how their reported and observed teaching practices relate to the standards and various models of teacher effectiveness, and what support needs they perceive. I compared these issues between cases based on educational level, type of gifted program, and region. I conducted one-on-one, semi-structured interviews in person with nine teachers of the gifted from Northern Ohio and Southeast Michigan using a case study approach. I analyzed the data using Atlas.ti qualitative analysis software using coding methods. Nine themes emerged, which I discuss in depth: time flies, money talks, uncertainty about expectations, practice is more meaningful than theory, unexpected opportunities, additional roles, teacher evaluation, personality characteristics are more important than academic competencies, and Ohio versus Michigan. 2015-10-22 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1430326146 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1430326146 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
