Introduction
? Much attention is given to the left end of the Bell
Curve, understandably so, with the requirements of
No Child Left Behind.
? However, Hispanic bilingual students found on the
right end of that curve are typically placed in the
same classroom and receive the same instruction.
The Current Challange

The definition of giftedness used for
identification purposes, and teachers¡¯ level
of preparation in gifted education are two
key factors in the underrepresentation of
bilingual students in gifted and talented
(GT) programs.
