Description
Is the paucity of teacher education on giftedness the reason why minority youth represent a disproportionately small number of students identified as gifted? This session is an opportunity to compare the effects of professional development on giftedness for 100 certified classroom teachers in Georgia to the number of minority student gifted referrals at an urban high school over one school year. Presenters demonstrate how professional development on an urban school system’s state-approved criteria for giftedness affects teacher attitudes toward making a gifted referral for identification through the use of pre- and post-intervention questionnaire data.
