The purpose of the Gifted and Talented (G/T) program is to implement, maintain, and support a variety of instructional strategies that address the four core academic areas: reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies. Students in the G/T program demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication. The G/T curriculum meets the needs of students who demonstrate complex thinking skills and the need for an academic challenge. G/T students are provided classroom instruction, focused on critical thinking, problem-solving, creative thinking, researching, and developing innovative products. Each semester, GT identified students will complete a unit of study from the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) Curriculum.
