How Do Schools Find Gifted Students? Some Survey Results
Students from low-income homes, and black, Latino, and Native American children are often underrepresented in school gifted education programs, according to a nationwide survey of the people who staff those programs. The survey by the 澳门跑狗论坛 Research Center also found that the problem is particularly acute in large school districts and those in urban areas. Despite those imbalances, more than half of the 800 respondents said they 鈥渃ompletely agree鈥� or 鈥減artially agree鈥� that their district programs are netting all or almost all of the students who need to be in them.
