Nothing like an all-night #coffee shop for a 9pm cup of the good stuff and some dissertation coding.

Also, little John Coltrane.

How great would it be if, once a semester, or three times a year (#NAGC Annual, Spring, & Summer) the directors/coordinators/asst. dirs. of #Gifted in the nation’s 50 (or 100) largest districts got together.

How do we create this association? What does this work look like? How do we move forward?

I will leave this here in case any of you #EduSky people need it. #Coffee

Absolutely! Every child deserves to be challenged and supported through those opportunities.

We should always remember two things:

1.) #Gifted education is not a privilege.
2.) Gifted work is equity work.

Like you said, why are there camps? :)

So constructivism is bad in learning theory now? I’m tired and can’t keep up.

Is this one of those we just changed the name but do the same thing or is it the kind that’s out of style now and will be popular again in 15 years?

Thanks for the follow Erin! I’m going to tune in to the pod, always looking for great new learning!!

This is the high quality posting #BlueSky was created for. | #EduSky

And specifically:

“A belief in genius is a large part of what plagues us, and I have found that people widely praised for the power of their intellect are as likely to illuminate as they are to confound.”

Book Two for Thanksgiving Break is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ The Message. I’ve always loved stories of travel and have recently loved all things Coates. Just a chapter in and the prose, unsurprisingly, is rich and eloquent and with plenty of depth. | #BookSky #EduSky

Thank you! Looking forward to following some amazing people.

Very reasonable points on both sides. I hate to think zip codes could determine number of students served. Although, I guess, they already do.

Continued discussion on your work re: talent ID/equity is needed by/between school and district leaders. It’s so important and so missing in many places.

Looking forward to them coming back on this platform!

When does #GTchat start back up?

Would love to help if you need a thought partner, advocate, or just someone to check the temperature of an idea.

Would love to join this group. EdD in Educational Leadership with a focus on what school leaders do to support the equitable identification of #gifted students experiencing poverty.

This is really good stuff, Tyler! Thank you for sharing!

Caveat: No claims on whether we should or should not or to what degree here.

Also, I believe the purpose of this article was more to establish a need for homogenous classrooms for students identified as #gifted.

But if you aren’t going to do that, the first point is worthy of discussion.

Think Again: Are Education Programs for High Achievers Inherently Inequitable? This brief challenges the notion that marginalized students of high ability are harmed by advanced education, with implications for better screening measures and expansion of programs.

Published 3wks ago, Wright says “no high-quality research shows that heterogeneous differentiation can work at scale for the full range of student readiness levels” & “several lg-scale meta-anlys say it doesn’t”

So why keep building rubrics to evaluate tchrs on something that cant be done? #EduSky

We had a medical emergency on my most recent flight and it got me to thinking… why don’t airlines all have basic medical tools like stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, etc.? Seems like they would, right?

I do a fair amount of traveling and this is a record. Well done SeaTac.

I was told by a prominent researcher in the field of #gifted at #NAGC24 that we should set our identification local norms at a percentile equal to the resources we have.

So, set your local norms to 95% if you can only afford to provide adv. opportunities to 5% of your students.

Thoughts?

In an era of intense marketing a choice, that availability of advanced classes is a pretty big player. | #gifted #EduSky
