Short description: Less defined than identification protocols, talent pools are challenging to interpret and implement. Learn how one district created systemic practices to surface and nurture potential, with special attention to equitable practices to include our culturally and linguistically diverse, Twice-Exceptional, underachieving, and economically disadvantaged students.
