Description
In this interactive course, Mr. Brillhard provides an in-depth look at one of the easiest ways to introduce the icons: through Depth and Complexity frames.
By the end of this one-hour course, you’ll have a clear understanding of the following:
- How to introduce Depth and Complexity frames to your students
- How to use frames as a way to learn about your students — and help them learn about themselves
- The two basic types of frames and how to use them
- The two steps you need to know when using frames
- How to adapt the frames to meet the needs of your students, including as a tool for differentiation
- How to use the frames to create “iconic pathways” where one icon leads to another

The presenter was great in showing us different ways he has used Depth and Complexity in his classroom. I think it’s a great method to get out GT students to think deeper about topics and concepts taught.

this was good but it started with the idea that everyone knew the icons, we had to look up the icons to find the first review question
