A diverse district dramatically increased identification of students from underrepresented groups in gifted programs with new protocols and services for talent development. At our Title I campus, universal screening and local norms increased the number of students identified by nearly tenfold. Join us for a playbook to help you locate and serve more students more effectively.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how implementing universal screening provides greater equity in identification for underrepresented groups such as students of color, English learners, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds
Leverage multiple measures to allow more paths for placement, including differentiated identification protocols to match students with multiple talent development service tiers
Walk away with tools for layering and evaluating multiple sets of national and local norms when evaluating student potential to provide more equitable placements
