GT Coordinators in Public Schools: Are There Identifiable Biases by Gender, ELL Status, & SES?

GT Coordinators in Public Schools: Are There Identifiable Biases by Gender, ELL Status, and SES?

Saturday, November 11, 2023
11:00 AM – 11:30 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado A/B/C
When designing and implementing gifted and talented identification processes, there are several limitations for gifted coordinators due to inherent biases regarding students’ gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and other demographic variables. What happens when we analyze the results of current identification practices in US public schools? Shared experiences, research findings, and innovative ideas are presented and discussed with the audience.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will discuss the role gifted coordinators play in the identification process, considering what is possible and what cannot be modified in each context
  • Attendees will share their experiences alongside an analysis of real data collected from current U.S. public school students
  • Attendees will learn about research, policies, experiences, and ideas implemented nationally and internationally to provide more equitable identification processes for underserved gifted populations
