Tag2 provides engaging, research-based professional development for educators serving gifted and talented students in grades K–12. Our GT trainings blend pedagogy, practical strategies, and hands-on learning so teachers leave with ideas they can use immediately. Each workshop can be tailored by grade band (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12) or presented as a campus-wide session.
All sessions qualify as GT update training for Texas teachers who serve gifted and talented students.
Choose from three GT workshops, or combine them into a powerful professional learning series. Each training is designed for teachers of gifted and talented students and can be adapted for specific grade bands or delivered to an entire campus staff.
Hands-on implementation training for our curriculum kits
Integrating AI while preserving creative, physical learning
In this highly practical workshop, teachers of gifted and talented students gain a clear understanding of how to implement the STREAM Scholars Kits they have purchased. Participants receive a guided, hands-on walkthrough of all 10 sessions in their kit and see exactly how the lessons, materials, and timing fit together.
The training models how to set up each session and offers concrete strategies for using the kits in GT pull-out programs, enrichment blocks, or general education classrooms.
Suitable for K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12 depending on
kit selection.
Counts as 6 hours of GT update credit.
This interactive workshop equips teachers with practical strategies to challenge gifted learners using the framework of depth and complexity. Participants explore how to extend thinking, ask richer questions, and design tasks that move students beyond surface-level understanding. The session also highlights how to honor student strengths and interests while maintaining rigor.
Teachers will examine the relationship between depth and complexity and the needs of gifted and talented students, and discover how to connect these ideas with multiple intelligences, choice menus, curriculum compacting, and other classroom-friendly approaches.
This forward-looking workshop helps teachers integrate artificial intelligence as a supportive tool while preserving the power of hands-on, minds-on learning. Participants explore how AI can spark ideas, support planning, and scaffold language—without replacing student thinking or creativity.
Teachers will learn strategies for guiding students as they plan, design, build, and refine projects using real materials and supplies. Students use AI to brainstorm possibilities, generate directions, and iterate on their designs, while still engaging deeply in physical construction, problem solving, and collaboration.
Adaptable for K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12 with
grade-appropriate examples.
Counts as 6 hours of GT update credit.
All three GT trainings can be tailored for specific grade bands (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12) or delivered as a campus-wide professional learning experience. Sessions can be scheduled for individual campuses, feeder patterns, or district teams and are available as full-day (6-hour) workshops.

In Texas, teachers who provide instruction and services to identified gifted and talented students are required to complete a minimum of six (6) clock hours of annual professional development in gifted education to maintain their GT qualification.
Tag2's GT trainings are designed to support districts in meeting these expectations. Each of our workshops can be used as part of your 6-hour GT update and is aligned with the spirit of the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students and guidance from the Texas Association for the Gifted & Talented (TAGT) regarding ongoing, high-quality professional learning.
Sessions emphasize research-based practices, differentiation, depth and complexity, and support for diverse populations, including emergent bilingual students.
Work with us to plan a GT update that fits your campus goals, instructional priorities, and teacher experience levels.
