Can Gifted Education Survive the Common Core?
February 23, 2015 - 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm
-- February 23, 2015 - 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm
Thomas B. Fordham Institute
1016 16th Street NW, 7th Floor
Washington, D.C. 20036
As Common Core gathers speed in forty-three states and DC, what does it mean for high-ability students and gifted-and-talented education? Some contend that higher standards for all mean gifted education is no longer necessary for some. Others insist that increasing the rigor of classes will automatically serve high achievers well. Some claim that differentiated instruction does the trick, while others worry that the country's ablest students will lose what little claim they presently have on curriculum and instruction suited to their needs.
Who's right?
Join the Fordham Institute on Monday, February 23, 2015 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. ET for a live discussion on what the Common Core portends for gifted students and their teachers, moderated by Fordham's own Chester E. Finn, Jr.
