Jill Adelson

Those in NC, please take a few moments to contact your legislators. HB259 is a step towards INequity in education. It goes against what research recommends & limits the funding for students from all backgrounds who have advanced needs @NAGCGIFTED #gifted

Always so energizing when I get to talk w/ the STEM + C2 gifted facilitators! Love hearing about kids AND teachers being excited & learning & that universal screening is changing principals' & teachers' views of gifted identification. ❤️working w/ @drannrobinson & the UALR team!

It seems fitting on International Women's Day to give a shoutout to @LauraMStapleton for being selected as a 2023 AERA Fellow! Thank you for all the mentoring and congrats to an amazing researcher!

Today I had the best introduction to a keynote ever. My favorite line: “Dr. Adelson is the mother of a 3-year-old daughter, an 8-year-old daughter, & her favorite son, me” Thank you, @FVFalcons & @DurhamPublicSch Advanced Academics, for inviting me & arranging the intro!

It’s been more than a decade since @BetsyMcCoach was my doctoral advisor, but she still knew what kind of gift to give me when we got to see each other in person! This makes me want to teach HLM and SEM again!

Today is my 4-year Twitter anniv. I was highly encouraged to join by the person hiring me for a job. Since then, I’ve moved states, had a baby, lived during a pandemic, had the program I moved for end, started my own business. I’m ok if the next 4 years have fewer life events.

This was a great article for a fantastic special issue. Excited that it’s open access for 2 months.

So honored to have worked with @real_m_matthews , @DressageProf, @JoniLakin, and the rest of our team. I couldn’t have asked for better colleagues for this work the past 5 years!

This is a generous and awesome offer! @DressageProf is an incredible teacher, researcher, reviewer, associate editor, and, most importantly person and friend. Take her up on this opportunity!

My first conference since 2019 and excited for a final opportunity to represent #GCQ as co-Editor before our term is over. We've made a lot of gains in #openscience during our tenure and are looking forward to sharing about it.

My 2-year-old is preparing me for my first academic conference since 2019. Multiple times a day, she says, "Mommy, I have a question for you." Then she proceeds to tell me a statement. I think I'm ready for presenting at #AERA2022. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

A #gifted ed coordinator asked me this question. It's so great that I want to pose it to my colleagues -- What data are most convincing in encouraging teachers & principals to better support gifted specialists/nurturing? Are there particular data or articles you recommend?

North Carolina AIG Specialists are working hard for our state’s students. Always energized and inspired working with them. Thanks for inviting me to talk about talent development, equity, and excellence! @NCAIG @steph_rw_cyrus @CrossBeGo @CrissyBGiftedEd #gifted

Dr. Barr is a phenomenal psychologist, researcher, and person. He’ll be sharing his story and wearing His psychologist/educator hat. I encourage those considering it to join him!

Loved collaborating w/ La'Tonya Frazier-Goatley @JCPSKY & @DressageProf on this #equity in #gifted ed commentary for a @GCQjournal special issue! Kate & I appreciate La'Tonya keeping our work & advocacy grounded in what's happening & doable in schools. doi.org/10.1177/001698622110…

Would love to see @DurhamPublicSch develop an acceleration policy. It shouldn’t rely on individual teachers, schools, and especially parent advocacy for kids to have access to acceleration. #equity

Children deserve to be academically/cognitively challenged. When they aren't, some will choose underachievement out of boredom. This is why we need to support teachers in meeting the needs of all students & why schoolwide cluster grouping & acceleration are important.

Happy 1-year anniversary to Adelson Research & Consulting, LLC! It’s been a fun year of grant work, statistics workshops, and gifted education professional development. Looking forward to what the next year brings!
