Saturday, November 11, 2023

Location: Veracruz Exhibit Hall
Learners from diverse populations continue to be under-represented in gifted education programs. Presenters share identification tools to evaluate language acquisition aptitude and outline critical socio-cultural considerations of gifted English Learners (ELs). Participants explore research-based frameworks for serving gifted ELs, guidelines for creating culturally-responsive learning opportunities/environments, and strategies to nurture and develop excellence in this underrepresented population.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will explore the unique educational and socio-cultural needs of Gifted ELs.
  • Participants will evaluate practical guidelines for planning culturally-responsive learning opportunities for ELs while considering their diverse academic and social-emotional needs.
  • Participants will plan for the implementation of culturally-responsive systems and strategies. Participants will explore, evaluate, and plan to meet the needs of gifted ELs.
