Presenters: Paula Olszewski-Kubilius, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, and President, NAGC; Carol Horn, Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax, VA
Hear compelling findings from a hot off-the-press white paper that focuses on both a research and practice agenda for the field and the needs of promising learners from poverty. NAGC President and primary author shares findings from the white paper including:
·       How low income and culturally and linguistically diverse gifted students currently fare and are served in our nation's schools; 
·       Key barriers to these students’ educational achievement and talent development; 
·       Successful within and outside-of-school program models and effective practices that develop their talents; 
·       The unique psychosocial issues that these students face and the cultivation of skills needed to deal with them; 
·       Key actions to be taken by teachers, administrators and policy makers to insure the fruition of emergent talent.
Come away with additional insight about success factors and recommended best practices for serving these gifted students.
