What does the Total Talent Portfolio (TTP) focus on?

The Total Talent Portfolio (TTP) is designed to systematically gather comprehensive information about a student's abilities, interests, strengths, and needs. This approach supports a holistic understanding of each student, recognizing that talents and gifts can manifest in various forms and aren't restricted to traditional academic achievements. By focusing on a broader range of attributes beyond mere test scores, the TTP facilitates personalized educational support and encourages the development of each student’s unique potential.

The TTP is not solely about traditional testing methods or only assessing classroom performance, which means it goes beyond these limited frameworks, allowing educators to appreciate and nurture individual talents effectively. This broader perspective is essential in gifted education, as it informs instructional strategies that can be tailored to meet diverse student needs.
