Seeking Educators: Become a Project EAGLE Trainer and Champion Gifted Identification!

Project EAGLE (Eliciting Advanced Gifted Learning Evidence) is currently seeking educators from Arizona, Colorado, and Texas to become Project EAGLE Trainers as part of a federally funded Javits research grant. Fifteen trainers–five from each state–will participate in a five-day orientation on the Project EAGLE dynamic identification system, to be held from July 13-17, 2025, at the University of Connecticut’s Confratute. Following this training, the trainers will return to their respective states to conduct five workshops during the 2025-26 academic year, sharing the Project EAGLE approach to identifying underserved gifted students.

 

Applications are due March 15 at https://identifygifted.education.uconn.edu/trainer/

Project EAGLE (Eliciting Advanced Gifted Learning Evidence) addresses the critical need for assessment systems that better identify talent in diverse student populations. We tackle the issue of underidentification, which leads to underservicing, by implementing a dynamic approach to recognizing gifted behaviors. This approach empowers grade 3 and 4 teachers to use our Points of Promise observation checklist, designed to identify characteristics of mathematical potential and talent, as they observe and engage students in five problem-based math activities specifically crafted to elicit gifted behaviors.
