What educators and psychologists recognize as giftedness in children is really potential giftedness, which denotes promise rather than fulfillment and probabilities rather than certainties about future accomplishments. How high these probabilities are in any given case depends much upon the match between a child’s budding talents and the kinds of nurturance provided. ~Dr. Harry Passow

What we teach our kids about responding to adversity says a lot about our vision of America. If we believe our nation and our kids are, like Hamilton’s self-assessment, “a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal, trying to reach my goal,” we should proudly instill a sense of endless striving.
John Laurens on Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton

Underrepresented Populations in Gifted Education
Outstanding talents are present in children and youth from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.

Short Term GoalTo identify students who may not be considered for
advanced academic programs using traditional methods of identification, and who, without that opportunity, are less likely to pursue advanced levels of learning on their own.
![Page 14: Young Scholars Model: Finding & Nurturing Advanced Academic Potential from Historically Underserved Populations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ee96221a28ab826b8b462b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Long Term GoalTo nurture high academic
potential at an early age so that students who have historically been underserved in advanced academic programs will be prepared to engage in challenging subject matter and rigorous courses in upper elementary school, middle school, and high school.

The Leadership Steps to Success…
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just
passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. Joel Barker

What kind of MINDSET do your students have?
What kind of MINDSET do YOU have?
What kind of MINDSET leads to more learning?

Discuss with a partner: What are the learning implications for each pairing? For example, what might be the outcome if a student with a growth mindset attends a school or has a teacher with a fixed mindset culture?

Intelligence is emergent
What will it take to draw this student out?

Advanced students should read and write faster, better, and more independently than their peers do.

Intelligence is complex
In what ways does this
student’s ideas show
originality or novelty?

Intelligence is not how much you know or how fast you learn but how you behave when you don’t know the answer.

Level I Nine Thinking Strategies
Point of ViewAnalyzing how different people might look at the same idea, issue, and/or situation
Fluency, Flexibility, Originality & ElaborationProduction for many ideas, expression of new ideas, and the recombination of existing ideas
VisualizationConsciously forming mental images of something that is not actually present in the senses

Kindergarten Critical and Creative Thinking Lesson
Circles in Your Imagination
• State Standard: • The student will identify
representations of plane geometric figures regardless of their position and orientation in space.
• The student will compare the size and shape of plane geometric figures.
• Materials: circular objects, circles, paper, crayons
![Page 37: Young Scholars Model: Finding & Nurturing Advanced Academic Potential from Historically Underserved Populations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ee96221a28ab826b8b462b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
LINK
• What shapes can you find in our classroom? • Use your hands to make a circle.• Look through your circle lens.• What round things do you see?• What is the biggest circle you can find?
Smallest?• Can you name circles that people use? (wheel,
sun, pizza, globe, etc.)37
Accommodations for ESOL students: Visual aids provided for the LINK portion of the lesson.

Questioning Questioning
• Students who ask questions are more productive and engaged.
• Questioning helps us solve problems by developing, implementing, and evaluating plans of action.

Analogies: Gives students a structure for generating creative ideas, seeing complex relationships, and making unusual comparisons. Analogies may be used to deepen understanding of topics or concepts.
Young Scholars are like __________ because _______________.
Thinking Strategies (continued)
Encapsulation: Stating ideas in precise and concise form
In ten or fewer words write a sentence to encapsulate your understanding of the term “gifted”.
Decisions and Outcomes: Understanding that choosing from alternatives affects events which follow
By a show of hands, how many of you have made a decision that you wish you could change? Did you make your decision before you gathered all the facts or was your decision based on impulse/ reaction to the situation?

“The fact is we all have biases against what’s different, what’s different to our social norms. The thing is if we want to live in a world where the circumstances of your birth do not dictate your future and where equal opportunity is ubiquitous, then each and every one of us has a role to play in making sure unconscious bias does not determine our lives.”

Cultural proficient educators must always navigate between two frames:
Treat all people as human beings rather than members of various cultural groups.
Recognize people’s real experiences as members of various cultural groups in order to better understand them, assist them, and/or to treat them equitably.

What the Students Say

Summer school provided the Young Scholars
the opportunity to shine in a smaller group setting. They additionally participated in self-reflection which
boosted their confidence in their abilities.
Students are immersed in learning sessions that go deep rather than surface and they can
develop inquiries that truly interest and engage them.
What do elementary teachers say about the impact of Young Scholars?
Since I’ve worked with Young Scholars, my expectations have been
broader; I have higher expectations for children who are able to perform better. Everyone has an idea of what giftedness is, but
Young Scholars has broadened my perspective about who is brought into that category.

in advanced courses.
The Young Scholars Model is a “pipeline” to advanced courses in middle and high school.

Being [a] Young Scholar [gave] me a boost of confidence. I feel that I have been given opportunities to improve my knowledge and skills. From the group projects, to the individual activities, being a Young Scholar has shaped me for the better.
Young Scholars has helped boost my confidence, which has encouraged me to try harder over the years. I feel more resilient and more likely to take on challenges, such as AP classes, thanks to Young Scholars.
What do Young Scholars who are now in high school say about how it impacted them?
