Should We Use the Term Gifted? A Practitioner Dialogue

Join three Gifted Education Coordinators for an informal, practice-centered conversation following the researcher panel on “Should We Use the Term ‘Gifted’?” This session focuses on how the debate around terminology impacts real decisions in schools—from identification and services to communication with families. Participants will reflect on key ideas, share perspectives, and explore how language shapes equity and student access. If you’re considering how this question affects your day-to-day work, this dialogue offers a space to process, connect, and move forward with clarity.

This conversation was started at a panel webinar in May 2026. Register and watch the recording from this webinar for context before this meeting. Register here for the recording!
