Abstract

This report documents the implementation of a Javits funded project entitled A Matter of Equity 2.0 (MoE) (Award #S206A220031). With this grant, our Javits team collaborated with administrative leaders and faculty in Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) to build the necessary infrastructure to create a solid gifted education program. The work was accomplished through the selection of a definition of giftedness designed to guide equity-based decision-making; professional learning for administrators, teachers, assorted staff, and parents designed to develop culturally competent talent seekers able to take an asset-based approach to instruction; and a wide range of service delivery approaches to ensure rigorous learning opportunities for highly capable students. By enacting these recommendations and best practices, the seeds for a comprehensive gifted education program have been sown.
