Guidance Curriculum

The purpose of a guidance curriculum is to assist students in the development

of skills they need to enhance their personal, social, educational, and career development.

We have implemented a developmental guidance and counseling program that

follows a model from the Texas Education Agency. This program is designed to help

students at each grade level acquire knowledge and skills in the following content areas:

• self-confidence development
• motivation to achieve
• decision-making, goal-setting, planning, & problem-solving skills
• interpersonal skills
• cross-cultural effectiveness
• responsible behavior

 

Gifted and Talented Program

A gifted or talented student is defined in the Texas Education code as " a child or youth who

performs or shows the potential for performing at a remarkably high level of accomplishment

when compared with others of the same age, experience, or environment and who: (1) exhibits

high performance capability in an intellectual, creative, or artistic area: (2) possesses an

unusual capacity for leadership; or (3) excels in a specific academic field."

 

The Gifted and Talented Program at Hunt ISD welcomes nominations of students throughout

the school year. Family members or others familiar with the student may nominate

them by picking up a form at Hunt School which asks for anecdotal evidence

and parental persmission for testing and evaluation.
