Diverse Books for Diverse Gifted Students - Enacting Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies

Saturday, November 11, 2023
9:15 AM – 10:15 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Fiesta 1/2
This presentation builds the capacity of educators and professionals to use diverse picture books written and illustrated by indigenous creators and people of color from around the world to engage gifted students in meaningful conversations about race and identity, equity and social justice, and intersectionality and global communities. Steps on how to decolonize gifted teacher education are also explored.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the five elements of what a decolonized teacher education is like as applied to gifted education and how this can be implemented in the classroom
  • Empower educators to find, select, and use diverse picture books by indigenous creators and people of color from around the world to go beyond global awareness to global interconnectedness
  • Examine narratives that depict hope and possibility and the revolutionary power of joy among gifted people of color and marginalized communities
