Racial & Multicultural Concerns in Gifted Education

1 Issues

Identifying Minority Gifted Students Testing Bias “Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity” Teacher Expectations Expectations for achievement are traditionally lower for minority students

Cross-cultural Counseling Problems Mistrust between majority and minority groups lack of cultural understanding lack of training in multicultural counseling

Cross-Cultural Counseling Benefits enhanced self-disclosure less likely to view the counselor as omniscient expectation for success may increase

Micro-Aggressions Any comment, attitude, action, or gesture, individuals experience as inappropriate or hurtful based on personal history or characteristics. Examples?

2 Implications

Implications Minority children may purposely underachieve in order to not feel like a “sell-out” Problems of transference in cross-cultural counseling

Identity Issues When minority gifted children are not identified the child may not receive encouragement to explore their gifts. Peer rejection may be intensified. competition between school and community for loyalty

Assumptions and Stereotypes Assumption that gifted minority students need to distance themselves from their culture to succeed. Gifted students are wealthy white children. If culturally different students are gifted then they will do well in school.

3 What can we do about it?

Possible Solutions Encourage students to express their cultural identity. Teachers and counselors should be sure to remain sensitive to cultural differences. Presence of ONE counselor from a minority culture increases the use of ALL counselors by minority students. Programs like START (Support To Affirm Rising Talent)
