Educational Technology: Barrier or Bridge to Equitable Access to Advanced Learning Opportunities?
Bright, Sarah; Calvert, Eric
Gifted Child Today, v46 n3 p187-200 Jul 2023
Project OCCAMS (Online Curriculum Consortium for Accelerating Middle School) is a collaboration between the Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University, the Center for Gifted Education at The College of William & Mary, and Columbus Public Schools with a goal of providing accelerated learning in language arts aimed at increasing achievement and increasing participation in advanced courses in high school among students from racial and economic subgroups underrepresented in traditional gifted education services. Using a critical technology theoretical framework that examines the impact of technology on people at the individual, educational, and global levels and addresses questions around appropriate use, accessibility, and impact, project outcomes are explored through an interpretive focus on equity, including impacts on student achievement as well as students' subjective experiences in the program. Potential implications for broader efforts in the field of gifted education to reduce disproportionality in gifted identification and close opportunity and excellence gaps beyond gifted identification reforms are also explored.
