A Call to Action
Critical Actions to Realize Equity and Excellence in Gifted Education: Changing Mindsets, Policies, and Practices
To set the foundation for realizing both equity and excellence, we must approach it from the shared perspective that both can be realized. Both are integral to a successful educational environment. This commitment toward equity and excellence is urgent and requires intentional and sustained actions. No single action will change mindsets, policies, and practices; we must synergize efforts to increase achievement and growth for all.
