Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP)

The TPSP is a statewide standards and assessment system you can use to capture the high levels of achievement of gifted/talented students. The goal of the TPSP is for students to create work that reflects the professional quality that the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students requires. Student projects are TEKS-based and focus on the core content areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies with interdisciplinary connections.

The TPSP provides a structure for students to perform on challenging projects in grades K-12 through tasks aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. Students who successfully complete a project will demonstrate a deep understanding of at least one area of study in one of these disciplines.

The TPSP consists of research-based standards and an accompanying assessment system that captures the high levels of achievement that gifted/talented students are able to exhibit. Schools and districts can use the results of this assessment to improve their services for gifted/talented students. The TPSP can also provide summative and formative information on an individual student’s learning.
