I had such a wonderful time chatting and collaborating with my JCS colleagues the other day about depth and complexity. My teaching partner and I presented a mini seminar on Depth and Complexity. I believe whole-heartedly that teaching gifted strategies is good for all students, but necessary for gifted students. Starting with the prompts of Depth and Complexity is the beginning of having students think deeply. The origin of these thinking tools stems from Dr. Sandra Kaplan. I have had the wonderful opportunity to be taught how to teach to gifted children by her and how to use these prompts fully with my scholars. View the Powerpoint to get a starting point for the use of these tools. https://docs.google.com/a/juliancharterschool.org/presentation/d/1gGtfMgCjIPGu9H2fYTOBhTKrTY7u4ZxtvAUIR1L149o/edit?usp=sharing
