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

Excellent strategies.

Awesome information acquired.
Belinda – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed this training and I can’t wait for my students to implement these icons in their writings.
Keegan – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
It was very informative and interesting.
Robin – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
Love This
Chad – NEW BREMEN LOCAL (verified owner) –
I’m still trying to decide how much initial time I would need to teach the Icons before I could use them. Also being a small school district I don’t have just a gifted section so this would have to be effective in a classroom with all levels of students.
Melissa – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –
Awesome IDEAS!
Jessica – DRISCOLL ISD (verified owner) –
To take this course, you must have knowledge of what the icons are.
Susan – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
Great ideas
Misti – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative
Jennifer – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This course is a wonderful tool to teach higher level.
Irma – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Great review of Depth and Complexity
mario – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
good ideas to use with History
Laura – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
Overall, great way to use the D&C Icons in class
Evelina – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Excellent training!
Leonor – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
It’s an excellent course. Specially for upper grade students
Sandra – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Great training!
Ellen – LEANDER ISD (verified owner) –
Great Part 3 to the Depth and Complexity Icons.
Stacy – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I like the examples and how we were required to think through the activities along with those “attending” the workshop.
ROB – MARION CITY (verified owner) –
It provided a easy to use framework for using depth and complexity icons in your classroom
Marilynn – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
great to use for GT organization
Ashley – 588 Co-op (verified owner) –
It is slow in the beginning, and the depth and complexity icons are not given in the video, so I had to research them independently–slightly frustrating. The middle to end of the course really picks up with content I can actually use quickly in my classroom to engage and stretch thinking.
Lori – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
The course truly challenged me. I didn’t know the icons, but thankfully could pull them up on google. That being said, I really like how simplistically the icons were used. I think my teachers will use them with their students. They stretch the students’ thinking and force them to go deeper with their learning.
Scott – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –
This reminded me of Thinking Maps and the use of the frame to surround a thinking map. I wish I had known about the icons ahead of time because that knowledge would have made this make more sense from the beginning, but I did figure it out after about 5 minutes.
Dean – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
The speaker did a good job of explaining the frames.
Elizabeth – LA GRANGE ISD (verified owner) –
Explained how to use frames and use them to evaluate your students in class.
Rodney – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –
This was interesting for different ideas to incorporate frames in a classroom. I thought it was over us developing frames for lessons for our records.
John – Yellow Springs Exempted Village (verified owner) –
okay
Ernest – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –
good activity
Jenna – MIAMI TRACE LOCAL (verified owner) –
Excellent
Rosanne – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –
Great ideas
Bethany – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
Without prior knowledge of the icons, this would have been really confusing, but the content and ideas for use of the icons is really good! I didn’t know some of the math question being asked, so that seemed like it wasn’t a great gauge of understanding the use of the icon in a frame rather than a specifc answer to a math question.
Matt – RIDGEWOOD LOCAL (verified owner) –
It was fine.
Angelica – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
Great way to use the icons with frames.
Deb – BOWLING GREEN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I felt lost during this, I don’t know if I missed the icons discussion somehow, but where was the list of icons given? Were we supposed to just make them up?
Jeffery – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –
Information is easy to understand, and you get the opportunity to practice using the frames as part of the course. Interactive and interesting; I liked this course.
Dwayne – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –
This course is a good introduction to the use of Frames to help students think, organizes, and communicate their thoughts in a systematic way
Kim – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –
I had a problem not knowing the 11 icons and then having to reflect on them. However, I do like the idea of using frames for learning.
Sheri – KENT CITY (verified owner) –
Very cool tool, but it would have been helpful to have been given the list of icons and what they represent.
Beckitt – SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I liked the content and idea of this. The class was difficult to take without being in person. There were no icons to view.
Mark – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –
I enjoyed this course quite a bit. Frames are an excellent, flexible, and malleable way to engage students in classwork. They can easily become a central component of students’ meta-analysis of learning throughout the year.
Amanda – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –
If you already use the icons, this is nice training.
Brandon – Bedford City School District (verified owner) –
It needed to include a reference sheet that goes through the icons.
Megan – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
The utilization of a frame and it’s many application is very useful. I gave it four stars because I was unable to find a copy of the depth and complexity icons in the module, so I had to look them up and keep them on a seperate screen for the training.
jaime – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
great course
Rebecca – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –
It would be helpful to have an understanding of the icons of depth and complexity BEFORE watching this video on frames.
Sarah – HALLETTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This would have been a better course if I knew what the icons were. I had to google the icons because he did not mention them or what they each meant before you were asked to use them.
Maria – SAN DIEGO ISD (verified owner) –
Good resource
Jon – ALICE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was incredibly informative as a new method of thinking for a mathematics class
Maria – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very interesting.
