Depth and Complexity

Webinar recording: Depth and Complexity for Gifted Parents  (embedded below)

Farnaz Kaufman teaches us how the Depth and Complexity framework can enrich your child’s independent study by promoting deeper thinking, critical analysis, and advanced understanding. Learn practical strategies to apply these tools at home, empowering your gifted learner to explore subjects with greater insight and creativity.

You can find more information about using the Depth and Complexity icons at the Center for Depth and Complexity website. We also recommend the Depth and Complexity resources at Byrdseed.TV (subscription required; can be purchased with funds).
