This self-directed online course meets the requirement for a six-hour update for teachers who serve gifted and talented students.

The Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) is a TEA online resource that supports gifted and talented teachers across Texas. In this course, we will explore the website to build our understanding of the resource and how gifted students can utilize it. We will plan to implement a task with students in our classroom. We will also relate the tasks from this resource to the Project Based Learning teaching method.

This facilitated course will include graded submissions related to the development of a task. Teachers participating in this course will develop plans to implement a TPSP task in their classroom and receive feedback from a specialist before implementation.

Modules in this course will include:

  • An introduction to the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP)
  • Planning with TPSP
  • Making Connections: TPSP and PBL (Project Based Learning)
