Gifted and Talented &
ADvanced Academics
Gifted and Talented services are educational interventions for students who perform at or show the potential for performing at a remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment.
In alignment with the Texas State Goal for Services for Gifted and Talented Students, the mission of the Jarrell ISD GT services is to provide learning opportunities that challenge and develop students identified for gifted services. This can be seen through the development of innovative projects and performances that reflect students’ individuality, as well as through honed research skills and advanced critical thinking.
Curricular compacting, lesson differentiation, and participation in the projects aligned to the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) are some of the many curricular options utilized. Additionally, the Jarrell ISD GT Department is actively engaged in developing robust programming options through the GT Task Force.
