- Synopsis
- For educators and other school professionals, researchers, and parents, Ford (education and human development, Vanderbilt U. ) explores the underrepresentation of black students in gifted programs and Advanced Placement classes and the underachievement of black students when they have been identified as gifted. She discusses the social, familial, educational, and psychological factors and gender issues that influence achievement. She also addresses legal and historical perspectives and how readers can learn from the experiences of gifted black students, and profiles programs for culturally different students around the country.
