De-Colonizing Brilliance: Working Together to Increase Representation in Gifted Ed

In this session, participants will examine curricular and pedagogical strategies for serving gifted students whose genius is being left on the table because of their familial income or English language learner status. They will also leave with an understanding of why increasing equity in gifted education is everyone's job, and why state policymakers and district leaders must act to help close the identification gap.

This talk was presented at:
2024 National ESEA Conference
February 2024 in Portland, OR
