Marcia Gentry

@DrJJRoberson12 Thank-you and thanks for cutting the grass!!

An amazing Scholar in our field that I'm blessed to call friend. Congratulations! You are simply phenomenal! @marciagentry

@realScottPeters When?

@Bec_Chirps @NJAGCGifted Trying to log in. Hang tight

Waiting for the amazing @marciagentry to lead a discussion on programs and practices that promote access and equity. @NJAGCGifted #njagcconference

@MRI77 Thanks, Rene. Much work remains

Schools fail to identify #gifted students. Some estimate 3.6 million more ought to be designated this way. Those gifted students who are missing are disproportionately children of color or from poverty. Thx for your leadership ⁦@marciagentry⁩ theconversation.com/schools-often-…

@4th5thGT @ShannonCauble @BeAnnYounker @2nd3rdGT Sadly, yes

@marciagentry :“About 15% of all students are Black, but only 8.5% of students identified as gifted and talented are Black. Roughly 27% of students are Latino, yet only 18% of the students determined to be gifted and talented are Latino.” @ShannonCauble @BeAnnYounker @2nd3rdGT

Schools often fail to identify gifted and talented students – especially if they are Black, Latino or Native American theconversation.com/schools-often-… via @ConversationUS

@edpolicyjunkie @JonathanPlucker @realScottPeters I haven analyzed that either, but this finding is consistent across most states

@JonathanPlucker @marciagentry @realScottPeters Title I schools are more likely to identify gifted students than non-Title I schools. Any idea why? I haven't done the analysis, but maybe more Title I schools are located in states with gifted identification mandates?

@RexChapman That is just creepy. Can’t wait for her to filet him in debate!!!

Yes!

@cmatthewfugate @NAGCGIFTED Agree, the right thing to do. Now we can move forward with an eye toward social justice, rather than backward.

proud of these scholars!

@GCQjournal @JillAdelson @real_m_matthews Are these sentiments congruent with editorial independence? Going forward with Terman issue? Take some meaningful action.

GCQ Update: Editors @JillAdelson and @real_m_matthews released a statement to the GCQ editorial board denouncing racism and injustice. What does this mean for researchers and you?
