摘要

几十年来,资优教育领域的教育工作者一直关注公平和获得先进学习机会的问题。天才项目被认为是当今学校中最隔离的学习环境之一。本研究旨在调查学区如何通过学区管理者的视角来解决教育公平问题。研究人员对32名学区负责人或其指定人员(如天才协调员、公平主任等)进行了1小时的半结构化访谈,内容涉及学区为改善公平性和获得高级和加速学习机会而设计和实施的举措,重点是2015年至2020年初,即2019冠状病毒病大流行之前。参与者被问及他们所在地区的教育公平的定义,在高能力项目中有针对性的公平倡议,他们在实施变革时遇到的挑战或障碍,以及他们在多样化劳动力和专业发展方面的经验。调查结果包括课程改革、提高获得高级学习机会的机会,同时解决学校资金和劳动力多样化方面的持续挑战。本研究的发现解决了资优教育研究中的一个重大差距:学区管理者采取的行动超越了识别过程的变化,以增加公平和获得高级学习机会。

School District Equity Initiatives That Impact Access to Accelerated and Advanced Learning
Equity and access to advanced learning opportunities have been issues of concern for educators in the field of gifted education for decades. Gifted programs are noted as some of the most segregated learning environments in schools today. This study was designed to investigate how school districts have addressed educational equity through the lenses of school district administrators. Researchers conducted semistructured 1-hr interviews with 32 superintendents or their designees (e.g., gifted coordinator, Director of Equity, etc.) about school district initiatives designed and implemented to improve equity and access to advanced and accelerated learning opportunities, with a focus from 2015 to early 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were asked about the definition of educational equity in their district, targeted equity initiatives in highly capable programs, challenges or barriers they encountered when they implemented change, and their experiences with diversifying their work force and professional development. Findings included changes in curriculum and improving access to advanced learning opportunities while addressing persistent challenges in school funding and diversifying the workforce. The findings of this study addressed a significant gap in gifted education research: actions taken by school district administrators that went beyond changes in identification processes to increase equity and access to advanced learning opportunities.
