::  Fort Stockton ISD Gifted/Talented Program Goals  ::

Gifted students will investigate teacher identified as well as self-selected broad based themes/issues/concepts. This will be achieved through in-depth interdisciplinary units, or independent study topics. The G/T student will demonstrate the ability to support and formulate new generalizations using more complex and/or abstract information.

Gifted students will develop and apply logical, creative and productive thinking and research skills to generate alternative solutions to complex problems and issues.

Gifted students will gain an understanding of themselves and their relationships to other persons, societal institutions, cultures and nature.

::  Identification of Gifted Students  ::
