  • The purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate the perceptions, practices, and training of teachers when identifying and nominating students for gifted and talented education (GATE) programs. The study was conducted through the lived experiences and viewpoints of GATE teachers at 13 elementary schools in a suburban school district in Texas. The basis of this study stemmed from an equity audit that was conducted in 2018 to better understand the disproportionalities that existed in the district with minority and economically disadvantaged students. The audit revealed major disparities of African American students in the areas of gifted and talented services, enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) and Pre AP-courses, Advanced Academics (dual credit), and Career and Technology Education (CTE). The theoretical framework that was used as a foundation for the study was multiple intelligences theory. The qualitative study consisted of teachers and a director's responses from one-on-one interview questions and additional comments provided during the video recordings. The coding of the data revealed three major themes during the interviews. The three major themes that were produced from more than 20 codes were perceptions, teacher training, and adjustment of policy and processes to practice. The findings disclosed the gifted and talented tests being used were exclusionary to particular subpopulations such as African American students, teachers and parents needed more training to understand the traits of giftedness, and teachers who activated the multiple intelligences of their students through high-quality instruction, culturally relevant teaching, and special interests benefited from more engaging classrooms.
