Gifted and Talented Resources

I went to a training on Monday that showed me an amazing set of lessons developed by the state of Texas.  These lessons are project based, aligned with the TEKS, cover the College and Career Readiness standards, and are geared towards Gifted and Talented students.  I am so excited to have found these!!!  I can't wait to use them with all 172 of my GT kids next year!

Texas Performance Standards Project

Winding down the year...  As end of year assemblies showcase student accomplishments and last minute Digital Citizenship lessons encourage students to make safe choices on the internet and leave a positive digital footprint, I am reminded that CHANGE is neither good nor bad.  CHANGE is CHANGE.  Stagnancy is bad, mediocrity is bad, CHANGE is what you make of it.  Technology flows in and out of our classrooms like a wave - what do we do with the technology that has floated in?  Strategies change as student needs change - which strategies do we choose to use and why?  Needs change - let's CHANGE with them.
