Does my student have to participate in a research pathway?
The Texas State Plan for Gifted and Talented states that each GT student will be given the opportunity to participate in a continuum of learning experiences, or create an advanced project, or a sophisticated product as part of the GT curriculum. It is highly recommended that GT students participate in this process. Texas Education Code 89.3
If my student is in a club or organization, does this count as a research pathway?
Students may use certain clubs or organizations to guide an investigation or exploration of the topics learned, ending in a product to showcase their learning.
When will my child be working on their research pathway?
The students will be given the opportunity to work on their research pathways during school hours.
Can I help my student with their research?
Your students will have a mentor or facilitator on campus that will guide them through the research process. We welcome parents to ask questions and encourage their students to continue their learning. Our goal is to have student created products to showcase in March.
Who is invited to the Research Expo?
All GT students are invited to the Expo! This year we will have parent presentations in the evenings as well!
