The urgency and absence of culturally relevant materials in classrooms for gifted black students is well known. Providing materials that reflect the primary culture of students with advanced learning potential contributes to their self esteem, development of connections between the learner and the educational experience, and the retention of Black students in gifted education programs. This session will share culturally relevant curriculum materials designed to more fully develop the critical thinking and creative thinking skills of African American Gifted learners while supporting their healthy psychosocial development.
