Short description: Educators are challenged with identifying, supporting, teaching, and retaining students with high ability and potential from all groups. Many find it difficult to make the home and community connections needed to develop a strong scholarly identity with marginalized student groups. This session demonstrates the integration of Home and Community Connection (H&CC) prompts within the Scholar Identity Model (SIM).
