Does your gifted program include a focus on identifying “talented students?” Discover how one school district created a separate, but aligned, talent development program with little added cost to increase representation of traditionally-underserved student populations in gifted and other advanced academic programs across the district. District GT data and programming details are shared.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the value of developing a talent development program at the local level to expand gifted and advanced academic programming to close equity gaps for traditionally-underserved student populations.
Describe how small changes to gifted assessment and identification practices can increase equity enrollment among traditionally-underserved student populations.
Demonstrate the steps needed to establish a talent development model at the local campus or district level, including professional development, programming changes, and administrative support.
