Description
African-American students are consistently under-represented in gifted education, especially those living in poverty. These students are referred at much lower rates than their non-African-American counterparts and recent data indicate that this trend is permeating into the middle class realm. The presenters discuss case studies of African-American students who are 'stuck in the middle' – gifted, but not identified and provide recommendations and points of information for parents, teachers, and administrators of students who deal with daily educational barriers that are just "too high to get over and too low to get under."
No items are available for this session.
