Abstract

We have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic that change can be fast and unpredictable. The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges for gifted education. The shift to remote and online learning highlighted disparities in equitable resources making it difficult for teachers to provide individualized support and accommodate students with diverse needs. However, understanding the unique needs of gifted learners and previous challenges can help educators support DEI to ensure that students have equal opportunities to reach their potential. This chapter discussed the importance of supporting vulnerable student populations, adapting pedagogy, online curriculum, addressing social and emotional needs, ensuring equitable technology, and resource access. Educational researchers, policy makers, politicians, school leaders, educators, and parents need to take proactive steps to plan for gifted educational needs through funding options at the local, state, and national levels. Working together will ensure that gifted learners receive the support and resources needed to succeed.
