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

How to use the frames with all students but in particular for our GT students
ALBINO – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
excellent
Paige – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –
This was full of great ideas to use before, during, or after a lesson.
Gabriela – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –
It was great, but difficult to implement in math due to time restraints on topic learned.
Cody – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –
I thought the course was a bit awkward. I also did not feel like there was a solid connection to WHAT each icon was and how you could use it for complex thinking.
Karen – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
I did not know what the icons were when watching this course on line so it was difficult to follow along.

like using the frame for a different way to approach a topic

This framework is simple and smart. I really liked how easily differentiation can be implemented. Be warned, if you don’t know about the icons for depth and complexity, you will need to look them up online because they are not included in the presentation or handout.

Very good outlook on different ways to let students explore and be responsible for their own learning.
Ella – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
loved the frames

Good content and ideas, but would have benefitted from a quick review of the icons of depth and complexity in advance.
Karen – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
great
Angel – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
It had one good example of how to use it in math class.
Patricia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
interesting information on using frames
kathya – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
It is a good refresher course.
Adriana – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Very helpful
Andrea – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
great
Alicia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Great samples and ideas on how to make depth and complexity frames, specially the math one
Stacy – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
Surprisingly, I found this very interesting and easy to use. It would’ve been nice to include the icons and their meanings in this presentation.
Blaire – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
Very interactive.

Richele – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
This course gave some great examples of depth & complexity icons within the classroom and over multiple content areas.
Brandee – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
Great presentation on using frames for depth and complexity.
Henry – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Great course to learn about frames
Sharon – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course is better for elementary teachers.
Ryan – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
This was pretty interesting. I didn’t know what the icons were when this started so I had to google it. But once I knew what he was talking about, I thought this could be an interesting exercise to do in class
Lisa – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
It was relevant and something I plan on using in the classroom. However, I would have liked it if they explained the icons in detail first, unless this was a continuation of another course. It is definitely helpful when differentiating.
April – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –
I thought the examples of how to use the frames were very helpful and can be adapted to use in lower grades as well.
Becky – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –
ery informative
Brooke – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
This course was great at introducing several strategies to incorporate the Depth and Complexity icons and frames into any classroom. I appreciate that we were given several ways to use the strategies and the opportunity to practice using them ourselves.
Danielle – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –
Icons are an easy idea to implement to differentiate in the classroom.
