"How schools can support equitable advanced education"
In the article, "How schools can support equitable advanced education," Dina Brulles, co-author of the Naglieri General Ability Tests, outlines practical solutions schools can implement to foster equity while supporting high-achieving students. Building on Brandon Wright's report, she challenges claims that gifted and talented programs don't work for marginalized students or that grouping by readiness is unnecessary.
Brulles emphasizes the importance of thoughtful program design, unbiased screening, and grouping practices that nurture both high achievers and students with unrecognized potential. Her recommendations include expanding programs for gifted learners, using local norms for identifying eligible students, and enhancing teacher training to support diverse talent equitably.
