2020 Lectures
The Center for Children and Families welcomed parents and professionals for its 12th annual series of lectures titled “Supporting Diverse Learners.”
| Jaret Hodges, Ph.D. “Identifying and Meeting the Needs of Gifted Students from Diverse Populations” |  |  |  |
Education should address the diverse needs of students, including those who have outstanding levels of aptitude or competence in academic domains. But it can be challenging to identify and support gifted students, and particularly those from populations who are traditionally marginalized in Texas public schools (e.g., Black; Latinx; Native American; in poverty; English-language learners). Dr. Hodges will discuss successful identification and programming models for children from marginalized populations. Implications for education inequity will also be discussed.
