[quote=Anonymous]OP here- interesting thread. I am not sure where DCPS or Charters go from here. I agree that failing to identify gifted minority students is a huge issue. My mother was a teacher for 30 years and would be the first to tell you that differentiation that truly serves ALL students in the class is myth. It just doesnt work well for any of the top or bottom students. Teachers teach down the middle or if its a grade that is testing, focus on the kids that will pull school test scores down. I want to add that I think the NC legislatures have done some seriously rotten things to teachers and school budgets which is why I was so surprised at what they haven't cut funding more. Just food for thought-here is the link to the STEM Boarding school in NC. I think minority kids in DC would actually benefit from a residential program like this. Imagine being surrounded by other high achieving students 24/7? http://www.ncssm.edu/about [/quote]
