Young Scholars Model: A Comprehensive Approach for Developing Talent and Pursuing Equity in Gifted Education

The Young Scholars Model is a comprehensive approach to addressing the issue of underrepresentation through engagement of a school-wide effort and commitment.

Historically, students from ethnically, linguistically, and economically diverse backgrounds have been overlooked and under-identified for gifted services. This book shares how the model leads to increased representation in identification and student success in advanced academic programs. It also describes the four major components of the model and how they integrate in practice and supports efforts to find and nurture potential in students who have historically been overlooked for gifted services. It also includes steps for implementation and practical guidelines that schools and districts will be able to follow with fidelity and success.
