• Gifted and Talented Department-Advanced Academics Program

     

    Purpose:

    The Advanced Academics Program provides all members of our educational community with research-based professional learning opportunities. These sessions enable districts to meet the state requirements delineated in the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students. Educators also have an opportunity to receive up to date information provided by the Texas Education Agency as they collaborate and network through our quarterly Gifted and Talented Coordinator meetings. 

    Whether you receive training online or in person, our sessions connect program educators to a network of supports aimed at advanced academic success. Services are offered as appropriate to educators, administrators, counselors, students, parents, and school board members.

    • District, School, and Educator Improvement
    • State Accountability Support
    • High-Quality Professional Learning Opportunities
    • Student, Parent, and Community Support
    • Collaborative Partnerships for Student Success
