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.

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.

Should teachers only call on students who raise their hands? 🙋‍♀️
Or, should we try to elicit every student’s insights, even students who might be unsure of the answer? 🤷

We at #Project_EAGLE_GT support building a classroom culture where all students feel comfortable sharing their thinking, even if they are not fully sure they have the right answer.

One way of doing this is through #Project_EAGLE_GT #ELL strategy 9: Randomization Strategies.
