In Katy ISD, students who are identified as Gifted/Talented (GT) in a particular content area are served through the KAP curriculum, which is appropriate for the needs of GT learners. They enroll in "KAP/GT" courses with teachers who have received GT training and are aware of the unique learning needs of GT students. Identified GT students often form close bonds with other GT students, and KAP/GT classes help meet some of their unique social and emotional needs. Additionally, High School Credit KAP/GT courses carry a "weighted" grade point; for example, an A average counts as five grade points rather than the traditional four grade points.
Screening for GT services takes place from January through April 2022. Testing results will be mailed home and should be received after April 20, 2022.
Current GT screening is for possible placement in GT classes in the Fall of 2023.
Additional information can be found on the Katy ISD GT & Advanced Academics website. If you have any questions, please contact Kendall Zurbuchen, GT Facilitator.
