Join top gifted education thinkers in a discussion on how educators can work to combat perceptions and misperceptions of gifted education. Speakers will address legislative and public perceptions of gifted and talented as inherently elitist and/or inequitable and educate attendees around misunderstandings commonly shared within public perception. Learn how you can change the perceptions about gifted education and create stronger conversations around G/T and equity in your communities. This session was originally recorded at giftED21.
Using Updated TAPR Report Data to Demonstrate Outcomes
As leaders in gifted education, communicating the value of gifted services and the need for resources and staff to support them can feel both the most important and the most challenging. Recently, data in the TAPR report was further disaggregated to display a filter for G/T students. Luke Hurst, Richardson ISD, will help equip you with practical strategies to leverage this data to tell a compelling, evidence-based story, support advocacy efforts, and strengthen decision-making with district and campus leaders.
