Abstract | This digest is adapted from Linda Cohen's publication, "Meeting the Needs of Gifted and Talented Minority Language Students." It explores the controversy surrounding the underrepresentation of minority language students in gifted and talented programs and makes recommendations for more suitable assessment techniques and program models. Addressed are the following questions: (1) Why are minority language students underrepresented in programs for gifted and talented students? (2) What are some commonly used techniques for the identification of gifted and talented minority language students? and (3) What types of programs are available for gifted and talented students, and are they suitable for minority language students who are selected to participate? Specifically described are enrichment programs, parent involvement programs, acceleration or honors programs, and mentor programs. The following recommendations are made: broaden the concept of giftedness; expand research on giftedness and minority language students; employ more well-rounded assessment techniques; increase staff awareness of their potential for developing a gifted and talented program; explore various program models; and increase awareness of different ways giftedness may be manifested in different populations. Includes 17 references. (DB) |
