2019-10-09 | Unequal access to gifted-and-talented education is a national disgrace - New York Daily News
'Why do we see this consistent denial of access to black and low-income students?'
'It is hard to know for sure, though biases both in gifted evaluation processes and in who can access those processes are possible. '
'In the 2016 study, one piece of evidence pointed toward the latter explanation. '
'Gaps in assignment for high-ability Black students closed when they were taught by a Black teacher, suggesting the trouble may lie in the teacher referrals that begin many gifted identification processes. '
' Biases in gifted assessments may well be swamped by biases in who takes — or is allowed to take — those assessments. '
