GT Programming Granbury ISD seeks to meet the educational needs
of these students through providing Gifted and Talented services for identified GT students.
The State plan for GT Students requires “Gifted/Talented students are ensured opportunities to work together as a group…and work independently during the school day as well as the entire school year as a direct result of gifted/talented service options.”
It also requires “Participation in the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP), or other experiences that result in the development of sophisticated products and/or performances that are targeted to an audience outside the classroom…”
GT Programming The type of GT services provided varies at each
campus, meeting the requirements of the State Plan in different ways.
The middle schools meet these requirements by pulling GT students during advisory period to work together and independently on projects.
The first semester, students can choose to work on either a History Fair Project, Science Fair Project, or other project of their choosing.
The second semester, students work on a Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP), which is the state’s GT Curriculum.
Principals or campus personnel can answer specific questions about specific campus GT Programming
GT Programming GT Services for 5th – 7th grade students
newly identified in the Spring begin at the start of the next school year in middle school.
Once identified, parent permission is required to receive GT Services.
If students are already identified in GT, no action needed to begin in middle school.
