Why College Success Isn’t Working for High-Achieving Students — and How to Fix It

Описание: In this episode of “From Classroom to Campus,” host Philip Bates sits down with Dr. Jonathan Plucker, a nationally recognized researcher on talent development and the excellence gap, to examine why traditional definitions of college success fall short for many students. The conversation explores how schools identify high-potential learners, why excellence gaps persist across socioeconomic lines, and what educators can do to expand access to advanced learning and opportunity.
