How to Diversify Your Gifted and Talented Program

Description

Gifted and talented programs are often dominated by students from white, Asian and upper-income backgrounds. This session will outline how to use local norms, rather than national standards, to identify advanced students. Multiple research studies have shown that using local norms can triple or even quadruple the number of Black and Hispanic students identified as gifted. Learn how to calculate the proportionalities in your schools, walk through tools for how to implement local norms, and receive a how-to guide and other resources.
