Texas Performance Standards Project

 

The Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) is a resource for providing differentiated instruction to gifted/talented (G/T) students. The TPSP provides a coherent package of standards, curriculum, and assessments for use in G/T programs from kindergarten through high school.

The goal of the TPSP is to provide resources for G/T teachers and students that allow students to create professional quality work in alignment with the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students.

 

At each grade level, the TPSP provides guidelines for                                                                         independent learning experiences and research projects.                                                                 The projects, or “tasks,” are based on the Texas Essential                                                           Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and focus on the foundation                                                                 content areas of English language arts and reading,                                                                          mathematics, science, and social studies with interdisciplinary connections.
