Download or read book Teacher Attitudes and Perceptions Influencing the Recognition of Giftedness in Underrepresented Elementary Suburban Populations written by Anne Kinderwater Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jacob Javits Gifted and Talented Education Act was passed in 1988 with the intention to diversify the gifted populations supported by public schools. Still, over three decades later, African American and Latinx students remain underrepresented in gifted programming compared to their Caucasian peers (duWet & Gubbins, 2009; Elhoweris, 2008; Kaya, 2015). Literature points to bias related to the identification process which often involves input from teachers (Ford & Webb, 1994, Moon & Brighton, 2008; Szymanski & Shaff, 2013). The purpose of this quantitative study was to explore elementary teachers' attitudes towards ability, and perceptions of gifted attributes. Using the theoretical framework of Critical Race Theory, gifted characteristics were examined as conventional and non-conventional attributes. Three suburban school districts participated in the study. This context is notable considering the increased enrollment of African American and Latinx students in each of these school districts over the past fifteen years. Despite the shift in demographics of the general student population in these districts, little change has been evident in the diversity of those served by gifted services. The findings of this survey research indicate teacher perception of gifted attributes may be a contributing factor to the underrepresentation of African American and Latinx students in gifted education in suburban schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in a combination of evidence, personal narratives, interviews, data, and research, Identifying and Serving Diverse Gifted Learners: Meeting the Needs of Special Populations in Gifted Education is a guiding resource for all stakeholder groups in gifted education to shift the equity needle of gifted programs in America. Though it is the right of Black, Hispanic/Latinx, twice-exceptional (2e), low-income, and other special populations of students to have access to advanced academic programs in the American educational system, complex and deep-rooted systemic issues often block the way. This seminal text thoughtfully brings the conversation around historically underrepresented students in gifted education to the forefront, drawing on real-world examples to provide an accessible discussion of foundational, interdependent topics, including current research and promising educational practices. Readers will develop a basic theoretical understanding of the issues and be able to advance more responsive programs and experiences for low-income, racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse gifted students, and other diverse gifted populations. This text serves as a beacon to motivate K-12 educators, researchers, and scholars to carry the torch of advocacy on behalf of those students historically underrepresented in programs for the gifted and talented.

Download or read book Elementary Teachers Perceptions of Giftedness written by Susan D. Bishofberger and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two hundred and eighty-one teachers participated in an online survey which investigated the relationship between teacher background and the use of student characteristics as indicators of giftedness. Teachers' global perceptions of giftedness as they related to background characteristics were also examined. Nine teacher characteristics were examined and included: educational background, years of teaching experience, gifted education preparation, SES of origin, perceived similarities to students, diversity in classrooms, school locale, Title 1 school status, and percentage of students eligible for the free or reduced-price lunch program. A factor analysis was conducted and a four factor solution was derived. The resulting dimensions were: Textbook Indicators, Nonconforming, Teacher Pleasing, and Incongruent characteristics. The mean ratings suggested that teachers were more likely to use Textbook Indicators and Teacher Pleasing characteristics as indicators of giftedness. Gifted education preparation was found to positively correlate to the Nonconforming dimension. Teachers with gifted education training were more likely to use nonconforming characteristics as indicators of giftedness. Years of experience was positively correlated with Nonconforming and Teacher Pleasing dimensions. That is, with more years of experience, teachers were more likely to use Nonconforming and Teacher Pleasing characteristics as indicators of giftedness. Diversity was negatively correlated with the Textbook Indicators. Teachers with more diverse classrooms were less likely to choose Textbook Indicators. The percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch was positively correlated with "Giftedness manifests itself differently in different socioeconomic groups." "Boys are more likely to show their giftedness through activities that tap spatial ability" was positively correlated with the Nonconforming dimension, and to a lesser degree, the Teacher Pleasing dimension. "Girls are more likely to show their giftedness through activities that tap verbal ability" was positively correlated with the Teacher Pleasing dimension. Teachers are encouraged to recognize a wider spectrum of behaviors and characteristics in order to make more inclusive referrals. Teachers should be aware of how culture can influence manifestations of giftedness. Recommendations include professional development that features gifted education training and multicultural education as related to identification of the gifted.

Download or read book High School Teachers Perceptions of Giftedness Gifted Education and Talent Development written by Joseph Russell and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of gifted education, there is little research on the perceptions of high school teachers of the gifted about giftedness, good gifted education practices, and the nature and needs of gifted learners. The purpose of this study was to form a deeper understanding of how those educators who guide gifted learners out of high school and into adulthood perceive giftedness and gifted education. This qualitative study, conducted in two phases, took place in a large suburban school district with three large high school systems and was focused on the responses of high school teachers to assess their attitudes, feelings, and opinions about the nature and needs of gifted learners using a grounded theory model of analysis. Data collected from the 11 participants in the first phase of the analysis was combined with that collected from the 13 participants in phase two and validated throughout with continual comparison through memoing. Participants reported a general lack of engagement with scholarly work in the gifted education field as well as a dependence on the school district for effective training in classroom practice. Evidence also suggested a view of giftedness among the participants as an inherent quality of some people who needed to be properly trained in the instructional environment. Implications from this study suggest further research, both qualitative and quantitative, needs to focus on clarifying the perception of giftedness among high school teachers as well as how the delivery of effective training to those teachers can be implemented.
