Gifted Education Nomination Process: A Case Study of Three Underserved Hispanic Students Perceptions, (Hardcover)

All three students did not participate in a gifted program and were part of the underrepresented cultural group that was excluded from being nominated to a gifted program. All three students shared their experiences from their perspective of the same boredom, thought they were smart, and learned from the background without confidence. All three students had a two-parent home with parents that were engaged with the family and kept up with the grading system. The parents, teachers, and students allowed researcher to investigate their perspectives to discuss their experiences through emergent interviews of the underrepresented Hispanic population.
