“#DOE announces new Gifted and Talented admission system<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The city on Wednesday unveiled a hybrid lottery-questionnaire system to select kids for admission to Gifted and Talented programs next year to replace basing entry on a single test \u2014 a move that critics say will only reward aggressive parents and not increase diversity.<\/p>\n

The plan will have the pre-K teachers of each app<\/a>licant answer questionnaires about their fitness for the accelerated programs.<\/p>\n

Tots who clear that hurdle will then be entered into a lottery and win spots via random selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan\u00a0this year will involve\u00a0families and educators identifying\u00a0students for accelerated learning\u00a0and does not involve\u00a0administering a test to our youngest learners,\u201d the Department of Education said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The system replaces the single-test admissions system that was voted down in a surprising Panel for Education Policy tally last month. <\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio had intended for the test to be administered one more time before a complete overhaul of Gifted and Talented programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe deeply that widescale changes are needed to address the racial disparities in who has access to G&T programs and look forward to a long-term transformation,\u2019 the DOE said.<\/p>\n

Some observers said the interim model will do little to nothing to diversify the accelerated programs.<\/p>\n

Currently, the roughly 16,000 seats are 43 percent Asian, 36 percent white, 8 percent Hispanic, and 6 percent black.<\/p>\n

Veteran education consultant Alina Adams said that having teachers complete questionnaires about their 4-year-old students is a heavily subjective metric that will benefit aggressive parents.<\/p>\n

Adams said the same pool of moms and dads who hotly pursue Gifted and Talented seats will likely push their kids\u2019 educators to submit 5-star reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve chosen the system that has been proven to be the least effective for identifying gifted students who are of color, or low-income, or English learners,\u201d she said. \u201cSubjective evaluations have always benefitted the wealthy and middle class.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
