 "Much attention has been paid to the achievement gap between minority students and underserved populations and their more affluent white peers. And, in fact, when gifted programs have been tied to the financial resources of individual districts, services for the gifted often have eluded minority students and children in lower socioeconomic districts. In recent years, however, the National Association for Gifted Children has promoted comprehensive, inclusive identification policies for gifted programs. The now-threatened Javits Grants have supported research into identification instruments and program options for these underserved populations. The loss of this funding will set back such efforts at inclusion, long sought by educators of the gifted nationwide."]]> 2019-02-21 04:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sdperry20/fhr90mjdy25f/wish/333492098 sdperry20 https://padlet.com/sdperry20/fhr90mjdy25f/wish/333492366 Students who are placed in Gifted and Talented programs are more likely to succeed and thrive in their respective careers than their peers.]]> 2019-02-21 04:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sdperry20/fhr90mjdy25f/wish/333492366 sdperry20 https://padlet.com/sdperry20/fhr90mjdy25f/wish/333492682 "Once a child has earned it, typically by claiming a spot in the top 10 percent in a given skill or subject area, most often based on standardized test scores, the doors to gifted and talented education programs and resources swing open.
