Seeking educators from Arizona, Colorado, and Texas to serve as Project EAGLE trainers.

There is clear and mounting evidence that gifted education must address the serious challenges associated with the underidentification and underservicing of many of gifted students. For example, English learners (ELs) are the fastest growing population of learners in the U.S., yet they are among the most missed groups in gifted education. Each year, tens of thousands of talented young people are overlooked for gifted services simply because they learned a language other than English as a child. Their teachers focus on their limited English skills and fail to recognize the brilliant mind they possess. Project EAGLE addresses this issue by creating learning situations where students' math talent and potential can be recognized.

*FUNDED BY JACOB K. JAVITS GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS EDUCATION PROGRAM, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PR/AWARD # S206A220040

 

Project EAGLE goals:

  • to develop a dynamic approach to identify gifted ELs in the familiar context of classroom math instruction;
  • to build classroom teachers, gifted specialists, and EL teachers’ capacity for fostering and spotting gifted talent; and
  • to increase the number of ELs nominated for gifted services.

Addressing assessment systems to better identify talent in multiple student populations. Javits Gifted & Talented PR/Award # S206A220040 #UConnGifted

Multiplication tables are a fun way to explore #ProjectEAGLE_GT Point of Promise 7: Finding patterns and using them to organize information.

Math Puzzle 1 🧩🧩🧩
In terms of n (marked in orange on the multiplication grid), what are the patterns of the lines in yellow (n1=1, n2=4, n3=9, …), green (n1=4, n2=10, n3=18, …), and blue (n1=7, n2=12, n3=15) …) on the multiplication table?

Dr. Siegle`s Bonus Question 🤔 : If n=8, what would the blue product on an extended grid be?

We hope you join The #ProjectEAGLE_GT Team as we take part in the #greatbackyardbirdcount Friday February 14-Monday February 17.

Learn more about how to get your class involved in this #citizenscience project through the #nationalaudobonsociety in as little as 15 minutes: https://www.birdcount.org/

Having your students estimate the number of birds that reside on your entire school yard would be a great opportunity to observe students engaging in Point of Promise 3 (Relating math to life outside math class) and Point of Promise 6 (Using logical reasoning).
