Is it time to reconsider the term gifted? For decades, this label has shaped research, policy, and programming in gifted education, yet it remains one of the field’s most debated concepts. In this engaging session, leading scholars will examine whether the term continues to serve the field effectively or if new language is needed to better reflect talent development, equity, and emerging research. Participants will explore multiple perspectives on the strengths and limitations of the term and consider how language influences identification practices, services, and public understanding of advanced learners. Through live virtual Q&A, attendees will contribute to the discussion, evaluate the most persuasive arguments, and reflect on what terminology may best guide the future of gifted education.
