[...] Thought I’d share this Word document my students have been using to analyze a character. It has both depth and complexity as well as content imperatives embedded. Usually, I have my students create their own graphic organizers, but I wanted this one to look nice and incorporate the differentiated thinking tools. [...]

I don’t have a GT class, yet there are a few really smart kids mixed in with the striving. The other day I offered some open ended questions about weight (tons) and let the kids reveal their prior knowledge. They really enjoyed the conversation. Even the stiving students had something brilliant to say. Seems akin to self-directed and I will do the open ended instruction more often.

i am trying to implement depth and complexity in my classroom for all students. Special education has to be service at their level of learning, but I believe they have to be challenge . I always modified the lesson for this students, but I have to understand that they are a lot low levels students that are GT in different areas. So I have to modified my lesson to meet the expectation of our students needs.

At risk means very little. Many GT kids are also at risk. Depth and complexity is the goal. The means is scaffording. It would be easier to manage if you have it done as student-guided..

I have learned a lot about the nature and use of depth and complexity in GT instructions. I intend to use them in my class.

At my school, depth and complexity is used in all classes. My understanding is that it was designed with English Learners in mind, hence the visual icons. Let me know if you have success implementing depth and complexity in your situation!
