S5.8.5 Results of Four Years' Research at the National Center for Research on Gifted Education

For four years, the National Center for Research on Gifted Education has examined identification and service practices in gifted education. During this symposium, researchers will share the status of gifted services that we found, and we will discuss which practices appear to be more or less predominant for successfully identifying and serving gifted students, especially those from historically underserved groups. Our work shows that underserved populations are still under-represented in gifted programs, but pockets of excellence exist. We will share potential practices to improve participation of underserved students in gifted programs and suggestions for future research in this area.
