Gifted Black females perform better in school than gifted Black males, have higher grade point averages, are identified by teachers as better students, believe that achievement leads to upward mobility, and have high self-esteem. Yet, they are at a greater risk of underachieving and dropping out of school than gifted White females and gifted African-American males. Research on the experiences of African-American females has been almost non-existent. This session focuses on their unique experiences and challenges with updated research, resources, and supportive strategies for counselors, teachers, and parents.
