Description
The NAGC Mary Frasier Scholars Program of NAGC supports educators in identifying and working with culturally and linguistically diverse students who are typically under-represented in gifted programs. During this session, several Frasier scholars will talk about their experiences subsequent to their training and how they felt empowered to identify diverse students and provide them appropriate services. They will relate how they saw their students' abilities in a different light and created additional programs in their schools and districts. These included the establishment of a gifted resource center that provided support for parents and assistance to students to prepare for and enter district high school gifted programs.
