Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students
STATE GOAL FOR SERVICES FOR GIFTED STUDENTS
Students who participate in services designed for gifted students will
demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and
communication as evidenced by the development of innovative products and
performances that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in
relation to students of similar age, experience, or environment. High school
graduates who have participated in services for gifted students will have
produced products and performances of professional quality as part of their
program services.
What is Depth and Complexity?
Depth: exploration of content within a discipline; analyzing from the
concrete to the abstract, familiar to the unfamiliar, known to the unknown;
exploring the discipline by going past facts and concepts into
generalizations, principles, theories, laws; investigating the layers of
experience within a discipline through details, patterns, trends, unanswered
questions, ethical considerations
Complexity: extending content in, between, and across disciplines through
the study of themes, problems, and issues; seeing relationships between and
among ideas in/within the topic, discipline, and disciplines; examining
relationships in, between, and across disciplines over time, and from
multiple points of view |
