Cultural diversity- In gifted education… It’s hard to fight that teacher bias In gifted education

It’s okay Sam, it’s okay Mark, You just need a role model You might be underrepresented But funding is there to help

Cultural diversity- In gifted education… It’s hard to fight that testing bias In gifted education

High IQ score is not the best way to tell We speak different kinds of English Nonverbal tests can be pretty cool And also creativity tests

Cultural diversity- In gifted education… It’s hard to fight that uncool stigma In gifted education

It’s okay Jan, it’s okay Bjork, You just need a role model It’s about relationships And celebrating your diversity

Multiple ways to recruit Several paths to nomination Use a series of evaluations to cast a wide net Explore different learning modalities Hard to get family support Support from an adult is key

Cultural diversity- In gifted education… It’s hard to fight statistics In gifted education

It’s okay Jane, it’s okay Shvaineborg You’ve got mega-resiliency You might be underrepresented But funding is there to help
