What is the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted and Talented Students?
The State Plan was designed to meet the two requirements of state law: accountability and improvement. The State Plan has five sections: Student Assessment, Program Design, Curriculum and Instruction, Professional Development, and Family-Community Involvement. It is written in three columns. The first column, or “acceptable” column, is used as the basis for program accountability. The next two columns, “recognized” and “exemplary,” are not mandated but represent methods that educators and community members may use to improve services for students.
