In a differentiated classroom do you really need a gifted endorsement?

So one of my goals this year was to begin my gifted endorsement. It was the first time they were offering a gifted endorsement class online and I wanted in.

Or so I thought.

I realized that a good gifted classroom is really just a differentiated classroom. Or at least that is what I am getting so far.

It makes me wonder... if  we are constantly being trained and reminded about differentiated our classroom, and differentiation is good teaching practice, then why do we continue to need endorsements for specific smaller groups of students, such as the gifted population?
