Description
According to Daniel Brillhard of J Taylor Education, the only wrong way to introduce the Depth and Complexity icons into your classroom is to choose not to introduce them.
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

Awesome activities and can be used across subjects and grade levels

The frame presentation was very clear and understandable.
Juana – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Interesting way to use icons in the classroom.
Marisa – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Great course that will make students think
Meredith – Pilot (verified owner) –
Depth & Complexity Framework Frames
Maria – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
It was too focused on math, rather than other subjects.
Charles – DAYTON CITY (verified owner) –
Love this methods of making students think about their learning in class.
Cassandra – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –
I had to look up the icons myself to answer the questions, I did not see them provided to us (unless I just missed them). Overall good examples for frames though.
San Juanita – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Good
Jeanette – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –
I like the idea, but I found I had to google outside the course to figure out what icons were in this context.
Norma – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This training seems to be way too advanced for using in my class.
Reyna – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I learned new instructional strategies that I can use in my classroom.
Nianna – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –
This is a great course, but it needs a review of the icons or a handout before viewing it.
Jaime – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –
It’s a great strategy that involves a diagram, analyzing, thinking, order, patterns, and other strategies to reinforce learning.
Graciela – SAN DIEGO ISD (verified owner) –
I had never heard of using the icons in this manner. I will certainly apply what I learned from this lesson.
Claudia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
Very good presentation.
Clara – MOHAWK LOCAL (verified owner) –
Great course. I really enjoyed the learning activities and reflections built in.
Heather – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Very interesting topic and examples. I really enjoyed learning how frames can be used for any level of learner.
Monica – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –
good
Rebecca – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
This course introduced how to use a frame in your classroom. I enjoyed the different examples it provided and learning about the different ways it can be used.
Suzanne – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –
I love frames! For notes and reviews I think this can be creative as well as informative.
Nayla – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This is a great course that helps with one way that depth and complexity icons are used: frames. I’ve used the 4-Corner Frayer Model in my classroom, and I think that the frames in this course are similar in concept, but the process and method of using them are enhanced with the icons. Make sure to take the Introduction to Depth and Complexity Icons course FIRST!
Jesse – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –
The frame concept is a good way to look at how the students are able to use different icons to gain knowledge.
Traci – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Good review of the icons
Shawn – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner) –
There needs to be explanation at the beginning of the different frames before you start asking us to create our own frame.
Lucy – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Another practical, useful and succinct course that taught me an applicable strategy for my classroom and content areas.
Jacob – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
It’s good for using depth and complexity better.
Maria Teresa – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Great training it help me understand the GT icons better.
Tenille – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative and ideas i can take to my classroom right away.
