Overlooked Children: Topics of Equity and Access in Gifted Education
Kristen R. Stephens
Description from DukeHub
The underrepresentation of certain groups in gifted programs persists. This course will examine the enrollment disparities that exist in gifted and advanced programs, critically review the assessment practices used to identify gifted students, and explore educational policy designed to reconcile equity and access issues in education. Potential inquiry partners may include, but are not limited to, local schools, non-profit organizations, and research centers focusing on equity and access issues in education.
