Description
Join the developers of the U-STARS~PLUS framework to better understand how to cultivate, recognize, and respond to K-3 students in the regular education setting. Recognizing and cultivating potential in young children from our underrepresented populations (economically disadvantaged and/or culturally/linguistically diverse families and children with disabilities) is critical in ensuring that every child optimally develops, closing the achievement gap, and appropriately identifying children for gifted education. U-STARS~PLUS addresses these needs by: providing intellectually and emotionally nurturing environments; recognizing outstanding potential; engaging families with their child’s academic success; supporting high-quality science instruction; and responding to childrens’ strengths with advanced educational experiences.
