Gifted & Talented Program Design

Elementary Service Design (K-5)

In grades K-3, identified students are served at their individual campuses within clustered classroom settings by teachers, who are well-trained in supporting gifted learners. In grades 1-5, students continue to develop creative and productive thinking and innovative products. A differentiated curriculum in the four content areas is aimed at developing higher-level thinking skills and processes, and participation in the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) allows students to showcase their learning. Acceleration is encouraged when appropriate.
