  • The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore elementary gifted teachers' lived experiences regarding Black males' participation in gifted education in rural schools. Critical theory was used as the theoretical framework of this study. A phenomenological design was utilized with a purposeful sample of twelve elementary gifted teachers. The central research question of this study was: What are elementary gifted teachers' lived experiences regarding Black males' participation in gifted education in rural schools? Data were collected through in-depth interviews. This study's findings revealed (a) elementary gifted teachers have limited lived experiences with Black males participating in gifted programs, (b) elementary gifted teachers play a significant role in the gifted referral process and generally have their own perceptions of giftedness, (c) elementary gifted teachers have experienced the impact of socioeconomic status on background experiences and home environment, and (d) elementary gifted teachers have experienced a lack of professional development regarding gifted education but remain confident in their ability to make gifted referral decisions. Implications of this study include strengthening local gifted nomination policies and protocols, exploring more equitable ways to make gifted referrals, and increasing professional learning regarding gifted education. Recommendations for future research include conducting similar studies of broader scope, and studies to exclusively explore the role of socioeconomics, creativity, and testing in Black males' participation in gifted education in rural schools.
