Project EAGLE (Eliciting Advanced Gifted Learning Evidence) addresses the critical need for assessment systems that better identify missed talent. We tackle the issue of under identification, which leads to untapped talent, by implementing a dynamic approach to recognizing gifted behaviors. This approach empowers grade 3 through 5 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.
