Going Up? The Gifted ELLevator (Identification & Services for English Learners)

Going Up? The Gifted ELLevator (Identification and Services for English Learners)

Saturday, November 11, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado A/B/C
How can you best identify/serve English Language Learners (ELLs) in gifted programs? The presenter directed SOL Net (Speakers of Other Languages NETwork), a Javits grant that began gifted services for ELLs. Participants receive research-based suggestions and legal implications/cautions for gifted identification and services for emerging multilingual students. Emphasis is paid to the recruitment of teachers from diverse populations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will become familiar with relevant gifted ELL legislation, laws, and legal cases to serve as precautionary tales for making good choices in identification and services.
  • Participants will be provided menus of gifted ELL identification and service options as well as cautions when selecting appropriate tools or services.
  • Participants will be provided suggestions to help with: (1) recruiting/utilizing teachers from diverse backgrounds and (2) incorporating differentiated Curriculum Unit Plans (CUPs) in language arts and math.
