GTAL
The Manor ISD GTAL program emphasizes the identification of gifted and talented students beginning in kindergarten. The program offers instructional services in core academic areas for all grades through the
use of differentiated curriculum within the instructional classroom. Instructional strategies promote critical
thinking and reasoning abilities, problem solving skills, independent studies, and creative product
development. Students identified as GTAL are served by classroom instructors who are GT qualified
through 30 or more hours in Gifted and Talented professional development, and remain current in their
qualification by engaging in 6 additional GT professional development hours each year.
