Abstract

Students who are Black or Hispanic have long been disproportionately represented in K–12 gifted and talented services. However, there are schools that have diverged from this trend by identifying atypically high numbers of Black and Hispanic students. In this conceptual replication of Peters and Johnson, we present predictors of whether a school offers gifted services (i.e., access) and representation indices for Black and Hispanic students (i.e., equity) within schools that enroll 10 or more Black or Hispanic students. Our results show that state policy mandates for gifted education are predictive of higher levels of access to and equity within gifted services for these schools. The average achievement and socioeconomic status of the district were positive predictors of access and equity while the district proportion eligible for special education services was a negative predictor of both. Finally, we end with a description of how the top 5% most-equitable schools in the country look different from their peers.
谁有识别天才的天赋?黑人和西班牙裔学生公平资优鉴定的预测因素
长期以来,黑人或西班牙裔学生在幼儿园至十二年级资优和天才服务中的比例一直过高。然而,也有一些学校偏离了这一趋势,发现黑人和西班牙裔学生的人数异常之多。在对 Peters 和 Johnson 的研究进行概念性复制时,我们提出了学校是否提供资优服务的预测因素(即获取),以及在招收 10 名或以上黑人或西班牙裔学生的学校中黑人和西班牙裔学生的代表指数(即公平)。我们的研究结果表明,州政府对资优教育的政策规定预示着这些学校获得资优服务的机会更多,资优服务的公平性更高。学区的平均成绩和社会经济地位对获得资优服务的机会和公平性有积极的预测作用,而学区符合特殊教育服务资格的学生比例对这两方面有消极的预测作用。最后,我们描述了全国前 5%最公平的学校与同类学校的不同之处。
