Short description: The NAGC issued a statement denouncing systemic racism and promised to model “courageous conversations centered on individual lived experiences.” Presenters share how they convened an Equity Summit and a student-led equity conference for community members, educators, and students to center change based on their experiences. The presenters share suggestions to enact changes for equitable gifted education services.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will:
Learn strategies for developing their own equity convenings in their own contexts
Engage in conversations with other participants regarding successful strategies to address inequitable access to gifted programs and advanced learning opportunities
Share their perspectives for what has and hasn't worked in gifted program reform initiatives
