	F-3.

The Working on Gifted Issues (WOGI) grant is provided by the Florida Department of Education to the University of North Florida (UNF), through its Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. Broward Virtual University (part of the Program Development and Alignment Department) has had an ongoing relationship creating on-line Gifted Endorsement Courses funded by the WOGI grant through their grant manager at the University of North Florida since 2005-2006. To date two classes have been designed and run for teachers around the state through Broward Virtual University. UNF/WOGI funds the design work, our teachers then have access to take the courses at no charge to us. In addition, we host the classes for teachers outside of our district to take at $240 per participant plus the cost of the textbook. The collection of these fees defrays operational costs of Broward Virtual University enabling us to create additional courses to meet the specific needs of our teachers and increasing our pool of teachers with Gifted Endorsement. The grant administrator for the WOGI grant would like Broward Virtual University to design and host two additional on-line gifted endorsement classes. As in the past the courses will be available to our teachers at no cost. A sum of $40,000 per course ($80,000 total) will be collected for the writing and design of the courses, in addition to revenue generated by offering the classes at a fee to non-Broward teachers.
