Research summary
AI-generated

Marcia Gentry's research focuses on gifted and talented education, with particular attention to identifying and supporting underrepresented students, including Black, Hispanic/Latinx, low-income, and refugee youth. Her work examines how identification methods, teacher perceptions, and school practices can either perpetuate or reduce inequities in access to gifted programs and STEM opportunities. She also develops and validates measurement tools, such as teacher rating scales, used to identify gifted students more fairly.
