Thank you for visiting the GT Academy Student Showcase website!
We are proud to present this year's Texas Performance Standards Projects! Students have worked all year to develop the final projects that you see here. During the fall semester, students chose their research topic based on personal interests and followed the seven steps of the Independent Investigation Method to write their research paper. During the spring semester, students applied new technology skills to create vlogs, blogs, virtual scrapbooks and posters, newscasts, interviews, and video demonstrations. We hope you enjoy visiting the student websites.

STATE GOAL FOR SERVICES FOR GIFTED/TALENTED STUDENTS
Students who 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. High school graduates who have participated in services for gifted/talented students will have produced products and performances of professional quality as part of their program services.

"The State Plan references and recommends the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP). First established through the General Appropriations Act of the 76th Texas Legislature, the TPSP is now established by TEC §39.236 (added by House Bill 3, 81st Texas Legislature) as the primary tool for assessing the effectiveness of gifted services. I am pleased to support the TPSP, the first assessment program of its kind in the nation for evaluation of G/T services." - Mike Morath, Commissioner of Education
