2 Understand the current state of disproportionality in gifted and talented education Race, ethnicity, language status, and disability status Understand and be able to apply Representation Indices to your own district data Understand and be able to apply excellence gaps to your own district data

3 Representation Indices

4 What s the question? How does African American enrollment in gifted education compare to African American enrollment in our school or district? % "#$%&'( ")*$%&'( %( +, % "#$%&'( ")*$%&'( %( -%./$%&/

5 Ratio of identified population representation to general population representation 1.0 = perfect representation >1.0 = overrepresentation <1.0 = underrepresentation % "#$%&'( ")*$%&'( %( +, % "#$%&'( ")*$%&'( %( -%./$%&/

6 How about Wayne Township (2016)? 1.0 = perfect representation >1.0 = overrepresentation <1.0 = underrepresentation 16.8% &'()*+, &-.()*+, ), /0 31.4% &'()*+, &-.()*+, ), 3)45()*5 RI for African American =.54

7 % of identified students who are FRPM eligible Representation Indices Divide % Gifted / % General FRPM: / = % of general population students who are FRPM eligible ELL: / = You can do this with your own internal district data, or with data from the US Office for Civil Rights

10 Representation Indices finding your data and computing your own!

11 1. Start here: 2. Next, click school & district search in the top left corner

12 3. Choose if you want to search for a school or entire district using the tabs at the top of the page. 4. Type in the school / district name and select the appropriate state and click search

13 5. Up should come the search results. Click on the one you want.

14 6. Up will come the school or district s overall profile. On this page you can find student subgroup enrollment in calculus, physics, chemistry, and gifted and talented programs.

15 7. Scroll down about 1/3 of the way. On the right hand side you will see gifted/talented enrollment click that

21 Excellence Gaps

22 The Achievement Gap Minimal proficiency Focus of NCLB reform Examines differences in passing rates by ethnicity and socio-economic status The Excellence Gap High levels of achievement ESSA requires reporting of all groups at all levels Examines differences in high achievement rates by ethnicity and socioeconomic status

32 This option requires that you can compare student subgroup performance using an existing data portal (note the Indiana Compass dashboard does NOT work for this) Compare advanced performance between or among student subgroups: ACT (college ready v. not) Number of AP exams taken AP test scores >4 ISTEP+ (Pass+) MAP, STAR, iready)

33 This option requires that you can compare student subgroup performance using an existing data portal (e.g., WISEDash) 2.1%

34 FRPL Gap: (10.3% - 2.1%) = 8.2 percentage points 2.1%

35 Use when there is no data portal for the assessment you want to use but you do have access to a spreadsheet of raw data.

36 Percent of non-frpl students who met this score in 4 th grade reading percent of FRPL students who met this score

37 Small excellence gaps aren t necessarily good Only 2% of Indiana 8 th graders score advanced overall that will make for fairly small gaps Equity CANNOT be solely about minimal proficiency Soft bigotry of low expectations Session tomorrow at 10:20am discusses ways to mitigate excellence gaps (spoiler: it s not easy)
