The Development of the Degrees of Equity Grading Scale Framework Applied to Gifted Education

Sunday, November 12, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Durango 1
The Degrees of Equity Grading Scale (DEGS) was developed to help teachers and school administrators better assess racial equity in gifted and advanced education programs (GAEP). DEGS is a grading structure that can motivate educational stakeholders to evaluate racial equity and set appropriate equity goals. This session demonstrates how DEGS can be used to analyze racial equity in GAEP.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will be able to define and describe a new framework to analyze racial equity in gifted education programs using the Degrees of Equity Grading Scale (DEGS).
  • Attendees will be able to demonstrate how the DEGS can be implemented in their own schools to evaluate racial equity across advanced education programs.
  • Attendees will be able to re-vision solutions to large racial disparities as opportunities for setting incremental goals to achieve sustainable small wins toward equity.
