Depth and Complexity Framework - Module 1

In the early 90s, Bette Gould and Sandra Kaplan developed a differentiation framework to help teachers ensure gifted and talented students were being challenged with critical thinking skills as they worked with content. What evolved became a valuable resource adopted by many state departments of education and gifted education programs across the country.


This framework can be applied to any content, subject or grade level.


Competency A, B, C
