Inequality in Gifted and Talented Programs examines the
relationship between gifted and talented (G&T) education,
school choice, and racialized tracking within New York City
elementary schools. Roda examines parental attitudes around placing
their children in a racially diverse elementary school with
segregated G&T and General Education programs.
Many American schools continue to struggle with segregation. This
important book tells the story of how two school districts-one a
predominantly White and wealthy suburban community and the other a
more diverse and urbanized community-were merged into a single
district to work toward a solution for school segregation. The
authors focus on the Morris School District in New Jersey as an
exemplar to demonstrate what is possible and how it can be
accomplished. They document what makes a district like Morris
successful and include lessons learned in each chapter. Along with
analyzing the legal and educational policy implications of the
nearly 50-year history of the merged district, the authors take a
mixed methods approach to deepen our knowledge of effective
leadership, community-school relations, and classroom practices in
the context of a community committed to genuine integration. Book
Features: Offers a deep analysis of one of the few districts that
is making progress toward true integration. Examines a local story
that has wide applicability to those interested in social justice,
enlightened leadership, and equitable educational opportunities for
all students. Employs qualitative and quantitative research along
with GIS mapping to study the legal, educational, political,
historical, and sociological dimensions of the case study. Provides
a series of lessons learned from the Morris School District that
will assist those engaged in building equitable school systems.
