Fri, April 28, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 221 D

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Renewed federal funding for the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program in 2014 has since supported the launch of 22 projects housed at both institutions of higher education and state education agencies, focused on scaling up effective models for serving gifted students from historically underrepresented populations. Posters will present emerging findings related to strategies and instruments for identification and access for diverse populations; effectiveness of specific interventions with students and teachers; and issues of research management, as well as critical discussion about how programs influence persistent disparities in gifted education. Discussion facilitated by Dr. Del Siegle, Director of the National Center for Research on Gifted Education, will be followed by direct interaction between attendees and presenters.
