HB 1287 Teachers to study gifted education.
Introduced by: Mary T. Christian | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Teachers to study gifted education. Adds the study of gifted education, particularly the use of multiple criteria to identify gifted students to the requirements for licensure for classroom teachers. Currently, few teachers are prepared to identify and accommodate the educational needs of gifted students, especially such students in the elementary grades and the nontraditional gifted student. Due to the stereotypes concerning gifted students and the use of inappropriate assessment methods to identify them, too often, gifted minority and low-income students are tracked into lower level courses and are not identified for or served by gifted education programs. These factors are among many which contribute to their under-representation in such programs.
This bill is the recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Educational Needs of Certain Underserved Gifted Students.
