Dr. Jack NaglieriA Social Justice Approach to Identifying Gifted Students

March 23, 2022

Presented by: Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D.

Webinar Overview

Researchers have estimated that approximately 1,250,000 students of color in public schools today are smart enough to be included in gifted educational programs but were not identified (Brulles, Lansdowne & Naglieri, 2022). A key factor is the demands of the intelligence tests used to identify very smart students favors those with good academic skills. Test instructions, content of the verbal and quantitative questions and the verbal expression demands are an obstacle for many students of color. To address these issues Naglieri, Brulles and Lansdowne (2021) created verbal and quantitative tests, that can be solved regardless of the language a student knows, which have minimal knowledge demands and are combined with a nonverbal test of general ability. Three research studies have shown that these three general ability tests yield very similar scores across gender, race, ethnicity and parental educational levels (Selvamenan, 2022).

Dr. Katie EklundUniversal Screening for Mental & Behavioral Health in Schools

May 11, 2022

Presented by: Katie Eklund, Ph.D.

Webinar Overview

Universal screening is a proactive approach of using brief and efficient measures to identify students at risk for future difficulties. Data is then used to help connect children with much needed services and supports. Schools provide an ideal setting for identifying at-risk students due to the large number of youth in school and the ability to provide follow-up care without some of the traditional barriers to accessing care in the community (e.g., cost, insurance, transportation). On the basis of research that shows positive outcomes may be achieved through early identification and intervention, recent educational policy and legislation places an increased focus on using universal screening measures to help provide supports to children in schools.
