The Impact of Teacher Referral on Equitable Identification

Friday, November 10, 2023
1:45 PM – 2:15 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado D/E
Gifted identification through referrals is a potential source of unfairness in the entrance process. This was investigated with a research study using a gifted rating scale in a large group of teachers and parents. This presentation discusses cultural and racial biases that have been found in teacher ratings and how these biases translate into different scores.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the literature on teacher rater bias using gifted rating scales.
  • Present research from the current rating scale on teacher and parent ratings.
  • Outline the implications of these findings.
