The primary purpose of this study is to explore gifted education teachers' ideas when asked how they would create more inclusive practices in gifted education to include students with high potential from traditionally underrepresented populations to increase diversity in the gifted education program. The voices of gifted education teachers are noticeably absent in the body of research about attempts by school districts to make gifted identification processes more equitable; gifted education teachers who work solely with identified gifted students in a gifted classroom are missing from the group of key stakeholders interviewed in research studies. Five full-time gifted education teachers, who only teach identified gifted students, volunteered to share their creative ideas and possible solutions about increasing diversity in gifted education. A qualitative design was used for this study to best elicit ideas from the five gifted education elementary and middle school teachers when asked to identify more inclusive practices to create an identification process that will increase proportionate representation. Teachers' responses to the interview questions suggested a multi-faceted approach to ameliorating this problem including ideas to: increase culturally responsive education for preservice and in-service teachers, require gifted education courses for all pre-service teachers which include information about recognizing high potential in diverse learners, require professional development for all in-service teachers about all identified gifted and high potential learners, including diverse learners, add staff who mirror a more diverse population, and continue to use universal testing with local sub-group cut-off scores and alternative tests, if needed, for qualifications for gifted screening and gifted programming.
