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

It was very interesting, learned a lot. The only comment I have is that “Icons” were not covered, I was lost in what each icon means.
Rachael – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
The information was good but I had a hard time staying focused and attentive to the presenter talking. It turned me off immediately with his math Prime P example.
Corina – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
This is the best GT course I have ever had. I like that examples were provided and that we could practice with frames. I will use what I learned in my class.
Maria – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
Great resource
Maria – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
it was an excellent course. I just needed an introduction to the icons.
Amada – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
At the beginning I would have like for the presenter to give an explanation of what these icons wereand what they were used for, There was no explanation for those of us who didn’t know what they were.
Christine – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
This was an excellent course on how to use D & C with students who already know the icons and their significance.
Martha – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
It was very enlightening. I was just a bit lost at the beginning since I was not familiarized with the Depth and Complexity icons.
DENISE – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I did not understand it. Very confusing.
Jeanette – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
A great way to review content.
Sylvia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoyed the training. I like the idea of the frames with the different icons. I wish there was a review of the icons beforehand. I will be using the two types of frames (deductive and inductive reasoning) with my students.
Gloria – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed this presentation even though I did not know what the icons were. I was able to get great examples of how to use them in the classroom.

Understanding Icons might be tough for students

I enjoyed the examples of deductive and inductive frames that can be used as well as the media used, i.e. the Amazon Prime commercial.
Michelle – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –
I really liked the frames and how to use them in my classroom. I have learned about the icons before so I knew what he was referring to but it would be nice to have refresher on the icons or a handout.
Tami – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –
It was informative, but I think I was missing some information about Icons.
Tracey – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
It took me a minute then i figured it out and its something I can use in my classes
Joshua – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –
I thought it was an excellent course overall. It would have been better if he would have reminded us what the 11 icons were at the beginning as well as making it more content specific. In addition the Quiz questions I found half of them to be confusing and not worded well.
Elliot – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –
Please have an overview of the icons before we are asked to use them! Otherwise, very interesting ideas.

I really enjoyed this course.
Lori – HUTTO ISD (verified owner) –
It would have been helpful to review the icons at the beginning of the course.

It would help to give a brief introduction of what the actual icons are and what they represent in the very beginning of the presentation so that you can refer back to it as needed.
Alisa – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –
Really enjoy the Depth and Complexity Icons
Dawn – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –
I didn’t know what the icons were it was talking about so I had to Google them. The question on the quiz about inductive and deductive reasoning. It was a good topic and interesting enough that I want to use it in my classroom.
Devon – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
great
Sylvia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
This course gave me a better understanding on how to use the icons.
Sherri – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Good examples of frames
Mika – EULA ISD (verified owner) –
Good reminder that frames can be a quick way to step up the level of thinking pertaining to a concept during a lesson. You’ll want to have knowledge of all of the icons before taking this course.

Good practical applications
DYLIELAH – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
Great!
Mia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
Lots of great ideas and once you get the hang of it, it is quite simple. Excited to try it next year. Love that there are so many different levels of support.
Shannon – BEAVERCREEK CITY (verified owner) –
Very good! Can be applied to any class, level, subject, etc.
Amanda – FAYETTE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (verified owner) –
I thought this was a great look into using the depth and complexity model. I have learned about it, but I like how there are practical examples on how to use it in the classroom.
Drew – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –
One of my favorite courses on GT Ignite. This is definitely a strategic approach I will use, and definitely one I’ll watch again.
Karen – Huber Heights City (verified owner) –
This was a great refresher course on using frames.
Kathryn – Huber Heights City (verified owner) –
I think this was a very good course in offering a wide variety of examples on how to use depth and complexity icons in class.
