Building Inclusive Gifted Programs to Enfranchise and Empower All Gifted Learners

 21st May 11am – 1 pm Eastern Standard Time ($5 for GTCASA members) 

The hallmark of excellence in gifted education insists on inclusivity and equitable identification, along with vibrant, culturally diverse programming practices and culturally responsive classrooms.  In this session the presenter discusses methods and approaches that can help integrate the needs of our diverse gifted learners into every aspect of school. Focusing on enfranchising and empowering all gifted learners, Dr. Brulles will share practical steps like-minded advocates can make to build, support and maintain inclusive gifted practices and programs. Dr. Brulles will also discuss gifted cluster grouping, one such inclusive model that allows gifted-identified students to learn together all day, every day; enfranchises underrepresented populations; and yields desirable achievement outcomes for all students.
