Have you ever heard of "Depth and Complexity Framework" and wondered what it was and how to use it in the classroom? Join this week's speaker, Marcy Voss, whose diverse career as a G/T coordinator, TAGT Board Commissioners G/T Advisory Council member, and current facilitator for the TAGT Emerging Leaders Program, has made Marcy an expert on this framework. Marcy explains that the "whole idea of depth and complexity is that it provides a framework where students can use their own thinking and take it to the level that they are capable of. So, if we can provide this type of curriculum in the Gen Ed classroom, all students can grow, develop, and learn according to their own rates." Hear from Marcy on what this framework is and her tips on how to use it in the classroom.
