Just as unfortunate, countless reports and studies indicate that too many Black males are not succeeding in school settings. A scholar identity model, grounded in various achievement-based theories, is shared in this article as one solution to addressing the educational and social plight of Black male adolescents. In addition to presenting the model, suggestions for prevention and intervention are provided.

Various recommendations to reverse underrepresentation have been proposed, with the majority focusing on testing and assessment instruments. Nonetheless, prog-ress has been inadequate as underrepresentation persists at high levels nationally, espe-cially among Black males. Clearly, we must continue to find more effective tests and instruments, but we cannot stop there. in this article, we propose that, in the process of focusing on more effective ways to recruit and retain african american students, greater attention must be given to social and psychological factors, namely peer pres-sures and racial identity. Equally important, we must consider gender—the differen-tial experiences of Black males and females. the discussion of these issues is followed by recommendations for change for educators.

This underrepresentation exists regardless of grade level and school type. Building on a previous publication, this article addresses a central question in gifted education: Why does underrepresentation among Black students persist in gifted education despite efforts to rectify the problem? The authors review factors affecting this stubborn and pervasive educational, social, and moral issue and outline recommendations for both the recruitment and retention of African American students in gifted education. The authors' major premise is that educators' deficit orientation about African American students has a direct and profound impact on these students' being able to gain admission to gifted programs. The authors contend that educators must move beyond a deficit orientation to that of dynamic thinking if underrepresent...
