“…Masten, Plata, Wenglar, and Thedford's (1999) study found that fifth-grade teachers rated Hispanic students less favorably on the SRBCSS and that their ratings of students were associated with the students' level of acculturation and ethnic identification. A similar study, conducted by Plata and Masten (1998), concluded that nominated Hispanic and Caucasian students had similar scores on the SRBCSS, but Hispanic students who were not nominated did have lower scores than their Caucasian counterparts. However, since these studies did not control for socioeconomic status or any other potential lurking variables, they must be interpreted with caution.…”

A dataset containing demographic information, gifted nomination status, and gifted identification status for all elementary school students in the state of Georgia (N = 705,074) was examined. The results indicated that automatic and teacher referrals were much more valuable than other referral sources. Asian and White students were much more likely to be nominated than Black or Hispanic students. Students receiving free or reduced-price lunches were much less likely to be nominated than students paying for their own lunches. The results suggest that inequalities in nomination, rather than assessment, may be the primary source of the underrepresentation of minority and low-SES students in gifted programs.

“…Thus, part of the underrepresentation issue may be caused by unfair nomination procedures. There is some support for this hypothesis in the research literature (e.g., Masten, Plata, Wenglar, & Thedford, 1999;McBee, 2006;Moon & Brighton, 2008;Plata & Masten, 1998).…”

This study focused on the analysis of a large-scale data set (N = 326,352) collected by the Georgia Department of Education using multilevel path analysis to model the probability that a student would be identified for participation in a gifted program. The model examined individual-and school-level factors that influence the probability that an individual would be identified. The probability of being identified as gifted depended strongly on student race and socioeconomic status and varied strongly across schools. Putting the Research to UseThis study provides a comprehensive examination of racial and socioeconomic disparities in gifted program participation in one state mandating gifted education and an identification scheme designed to increase participation among traditionally underrepresented groups of students. In spite of these policies, identification rates still varied widely across race and socioeconomic status. The study found that race still exerted strong effects on the probability of identification even after socioeconomic status was controlled. Furthermore, the study found that schools varied widely in the gifted identification rate even when some student characteristics were controlled. This study suggests that much work remains to be done in terms of ensuring that all students, regardless of background, have access to advanced educational programs.

“…Plata and Masten (1998) suggested that to make the identification process more accurate, teachers may need assistance in recognizing talents in culturally diverse students. Guskin, Peng, and Simon (1992) found classroom teachers to be sensitive to underrepresented groups in gifted and talented programs yet to be untrained in the recognition of the talents and capacities of these students.…”

This article focuses on the narratives and experiences of young Hispanics in south Texas. These youths matured during America's high period of civic engagement. Their involvement in the development of social clubs defined and reinforced their culture. Growing up Hispanic meant belonging to a large, supportive, Hispanic family. The clubs defined dating rituals and social behavior. This article also raises the issues of how social capital is realized within the Hispanic culture and its repercussions.Resumen: Este manuscrito se enfoca en historias sobre las experiencias de jóvenes Hispanos en el sur de Texas. Estos jóvenes maduraron durante el período alto de conciencia cívica en los Estados Unidos de América. Su participación en el nacimiento y desarrollo de clubes sociales definieron y reforzaron su conducta. El crecer Hispano significó, para muchos de ellos, pertenecer a una 'familia' grande de apoyo Hispano. Los clubes les ayudaron a definir rituales apropiados de cortejo. Este manuscrito discute el desarrollo histórico de clubes sociales en el sur de Texas y menciona puntos como el de como se realiza el capital social dentro de la cultura Hispana y sus repercusiones.
