Full course description
The purpose of this component is to provide participants with an overview of the challenges and
issues that face diverse populations of gifted students as they struggle to gain acceptance,
recognition, and access to appropriate gifted education to meet their individual needs. It incorporates
central issues in multicultural education that examine questions of equity and excellence; prejudice
and stereotyping of special populations; and lack of awareness, understanding, and recognition
manifested in discriminatory practices on the national, state, and local levels. It examines policies
and procedures to screen, identify, and provide appropriate modifications to curriculum for these
diverse gifted students, and concludes with a view of how to evaluate effective practices and
exemplary programs for special populations of gifted students.
