The Heart of the Matter

Travis TAG has many things going for it, but the core that links everything is the academic curriculum. The curriculum at Travis TAG is based on the same Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills that all Texas public schools use. THEN comes the difference.

· If you know the facts, then what do the facts mean?

· If you understand the concept, then how does it apply to another situation.

· Can you tie together many different lessons you’ve learned to create something new?

 

Enhance and Enrich

All core curriculum at Travis TAG has been worked on by teachers past and present to create something unique to the school.

In some cases, this means that the students are working at a faster pace than their friends in other schools. A Travis TAG student tends to catch on quickly, eliminating much of the repetition found in the styles of other schools

In some cases, the means that the students work to a deeper conceptual level. While all students at a grade level may learn certain material, a Travis TAG student may be expected to work for a broader understanding of the material covered.

Basal readers give way for Novels. Algebra readiness skills pop up at all levels of math. Students apply problem solving skills in classroom projects.

Whoa! That’s quite a load. Can students handle it? YES. Very challenging? It’s meant to be. Travis TAG students are expected to move forward and grow, not run in place.
