CAG 60th Annual Educator & Administrator Conference

The presenter will share strategies to promote the identification, retention, and success of minoritized youth in the gifted program.

Inequality in gifted education is abundantly evident. Although educators recognize they don’t effectively serve gifted learners of diversity, ELLs, and students living in poverty, few have successfully rectified this discrepancy. Dr. Brulles guides educators in practical ways to: enfranchise diversity in gifted identification; build inclusive gifted programs using local norms and flexible grouping; and instill culturally responsive teaching practices. Llearn methods for achieving equity by expanding perspectives, procedures and practices by working with school administrators.

Learning from and about Black scholars can provide unique insights into how we can meet the needs of Black gifted students. A journey towards more equitable outcomes for minoritized youth in gifted programs requires that we diversify the scholars that we learn from.

During the session the presenter will share evidence based practices designed to increase access to gifted services for underrepresented gifted students. These strategies will enhance efforts to improve equity and retain diverse students in gifted programs.
