Despite common beliefs that separate gifted and talented (G&T) programs benefit high-achieving students, a growing body of research shows otherwise. Segregated G&T classrooms not only fail to significantly boost academic performance but also contribute to deepening racial and socioeconomic divides in our schools.
New York Appleseed’s latest resource, Integrated Classrooms for Accelerated Learning, breaks down the myths around G&T programs and presents a clear case for inclusive enrichment in heterogeneous classrooms. The report makes the argument that truly equitable, high-quality education is only possible when all students can access enrichment and advanced learning opportunities—without being sorted by privilege or access.
