About the Conference
The Identifying Gifted Students of Color Conference focuses on the challenges we, as educators, psychologists, and parents, face when trying to identify and support gifted learners of color. The 2018 conference featured Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, expert in gifted education and award-winning author of Bright, Talented & Black: A Guide for Families of African American Gifted Learners. Dr. Davis delivered her keynote address, entitled “Are You a Facilitator or a Barrier? Recognizing and Nurturing Giftedness in ALL Communities.”
The Identifying Gifted Students of Color Conference provides an enriching framework around the intellectual, academic, and psychosocial traits of gifted students of color by sharing student vignettes that dispel myths and negative stereotypes; discussing the impact of implicit bias on recognizing giftedness; and sharing identification protocols found to be successful in identifying gifted students of color.
