All students who are identified as gifted/ talented will participate in services designed for gifted/talented students will demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication as evidenced by the development of innovative products and performances that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in relation to students of similar age, experience, or environment.

They will accomplish this by:

• Classroom teachers provide differentiated instruction in the core subjects.
• Receiving weekly pull-outs/ push-ins by G/T ELT Teacher
• Students are clustered in classes with a teacher who has met the state G/T training requirements.
• Students participate in G/T Expo, which highlights their completed independent study projects.
• G/T students are met with each week to work on research instruction, independent project work, and other group activities.
• Classroom teachers are supported with strategies and training specific for G/T students.

Humble ISD has joined up with the National Inventors Hall of Fame to bring our G/T learners the Design Thinking Project. Kiddos build confidence and learn the value of their creativity through collaboration and brainstorming to solve real-world problems using an inventor-informed Design Thinking Process. Once they identify a problem, they sketch their ideas, design logos, construct prototypes, and develop marketing campaigns. Along the way, campers will learn how to protect their work and promote their creations using the power of intellectual property. They will...Invent the future!

The curriculum also supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, such as: self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision making, self-management, and relationship skills.

Take a look at the video below...it is a brief overview/sneak peek of the part of the unit we will be completing. We are sure to have lots of fun while learning together! (The video says during the summer...disregard that..)
