Why Didn’t They Tell Me About This? A Latina’s Mothers Battle with the Gifted Education System

Why Didn’t They Tell Me About This? A Latina Mother's Battle with the Gifted Education System

Sunday, November 12, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Durango 2
In this presentation, attendees learn of a Latina mother’s unfortunate experience with bias and lack of administrational support within the gifted education system, which left her uncertain about her child’s future. Recommendations are provided to parents to improve communication between parents and staff, advocate for students’ needs, and reduce biases to best serve all students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn to address and recognize suspected bias within their child’s classroom and understand what resources are available to mitigate this issue.
  • Participants will learn steps towards building a cooperative relationship between teachers and administration.
  • Participants will gain awareness of misconceptions concerning gifted Latino/a children and their lack of identification in gifted education systems.
