Hope: A Critical Piece of the Gifted Identification Puzzle for Underrepresented Students

Saturday, November 11, 2023
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado D/E
Hope is a critical construct for identifying and nurturing giftedness and talent among students from underrepresented populations. This interactive session explores the why and how of using the reliable and valid Children’s Hope Scale in identification. Additionally, we involve participants in demonstrating methods for integrating hope into teaching.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will demonstrate through discussion that they understand the rationale and utility behind integrating hope into both identification and curricula for gifted programs.
  • Participants will learn through firsthand use of the Children’s Hope Scale how the instrument can be used for assessment and as a curriculum development tool for gifted services.
  • Participants will understand effective ways for integrating hope into their teaching.
