TEA's Performance Standard Project: "Texas law mandates all school districts to provide advanced level services for their students. The Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students stresses that services for gifted students build from and expand on the general school program provided to all students. In doing so, districts provide opportunities for students to create innovative products and performances that reflect individuality and creativity in advanced ways compared to those of their peers. Further, the plan states that high school graduates who have received services for gifted and talented students will create and develop products and presentations of professional quality as part of their program services."
