Description
Identifying students with high levels of interest in STEM allows educators to provide advanced instruction to these students, ultimately resulting in higher achievement. Two years of data from the Javits-funded Project GEMS (Gifted Education in STEM) show the impact on identification and on student learning in mathematics and science. In this session, learn about the treatment design, identification protocol, and data. Experience an engaging hands-on discussion activity in which you peruse and critique documents that are outcomes of the grant, including the mathematics and science teacher identification protocol/tools and caretaker survey.
