United ISD GT Parent Referral

United ISD GT Parent Referral - Spanish

 

The goal of the United Independent School District Gifted/Talented (GT) Program is to enable GT students to progress beyond the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) of the regular school curriculum by providing in-depth learning experiences that explore complex subjects and issues.

Gifted/Talented Program

  • As a result of participation in the GT Program, students are expected to:

    • Grow in understanding of universal themes, issues, or problems through subject-related activities planned to develop these understandings.
    • Develop thinking skills (critical, creative, problem-solving, and logical) that will enable them to take their rightful place in solving social, ecological, and technical problems of the future.
    • Develop independence in the acquisition of knowledge and in learning to apply information in new situations and use it to develop new products.
    • Develop an understanding of their giftedness and an appreciation for others through studies of individual differences and through interaction with both intellectual and social peers.

    Kinder – Pre-screening begins in September with services being rendered in March to identified students

    Elementary – K-5th grade GT students may receive services at their home campus through classroom instruction and  GT project-based opportunities with trained GT teachers.

  • First-grade students from Fasken Elementary, Bradley Castro and Madison Gonzalez, presented their GT project on Argentina at their campus showcase. The students worked with their teacher, Rebecca Garza, to prepare and went on to represent their school at the District Showcase on May 17. Great job, Bradley and Madison!
