Texas Performance Standards Project required for all 11th graders.This course, based on the Exit Level Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) for gifted/talented (G/T) students, offers a non-traditional learning experience to those students who have the ability to create innovative products or performances. Students will develop a product proposal, compile a portfolio, conduct in-depth research, be matched with a mentor from the business or professional community, and prepare for a public presentation of their product or performance at the end of the school year to be evaluated by an audience that includes experts in the field. Students work with their mentor to create a product related to their topic; the product is required to have real-world application and tangible documentation.
Students focus their study on a topic of their choice. They develop a research portfolio that has a collection of sources including interviews and observations with people who work in their chosen topic field. Students improve time management, communication, goal setting, and presentation skills. Students work with mentors on a regular basis to gain "real world" experience. Students give progressively longer speech presentations and will give a formal presentation of their product and year long experiences at the end of the year.
