The Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) consists of research-based standards and an accompanying assessment system that captures the high levels of achievement that GT students are able to exhibit. Student projects in kindergarten through eighth grades are somewhat structured with students completing a series of activities to arrive at a final product. At upper grades, exit level projects are completed more independently, and students work with mentors in the chosen field of study to create a final product. During this workshop, participants examine the tasks and become familiar with the process for implementing the TPSP in their classroom.
