About

Keynote speaker: Scott Imberman

COME TO LEARN:

• What are the impacts of advanced academic programs (e.g. gifted and talented initiatives, specialized magnet high schools, AP/IB programs) on student academic outcomes?
• How can one apply causal methods to  evaluate the benefits and potential downsides of advanced academic programs?
• Do these programs contribute to long-term success in postsecondary education (college and university achievement)?
• Are advanced programs equally accessible, or do they exacerbate educational inequalities?

The event is organized as a part of Talent - A joint project of the RSJ Foundation and IDEA of CERGE-EI
