Description
Active Gifted Child Find has been in place since the Office for Civil Rights investigated our district and mandated equitable identification and service delivery. Twelve years experience from ongoing child find, a new configuration of personnel, and extensive research and field testing have improved these procedures. Both the result of these streamlined procedures and the careful selection of assessment tools and instruments have significantly increased the identification of underrepresented gifted students in the districts low performing schools. Participants will be able to replicate any or all of our process to enhance or begin their own gifted child find.
