Little, if any, research exists that provides guidance for educators on the use of a dynamic
assessment as a tool for better identifying Latinx students for gifted programs. The purpose of
this qualitative case study was to explore the perceptions of campus principals and elementary
teachers as dynamic assessment was being considered as part of the gifted and talented
identification protocol. Data were collected through teacher and principal interviews and focus
groups, along with an analysis of current practices and protocols within the studied district. The
findings revealed several key themes that emerged from educator perspectives on the ability of
emergent bilingual students to be placed in gifted programs and how dynamic assessment could
or could not play a part in the assessment process. The study provides support and context for
future research about dynamic assessment as applied to gifted and talented identification of
Latinx students, including (a) the development of a dynamic assessment, (b) the implementation
of a dynamic assessment with presentation of data that supports or do not support its use, (c)
training to support the implementation of a dynamic assessment, (d) the human capital and time
associated with implementing a dynamic assessment, and (e) educator mindset associated with
the implementation of a dynamic assessment for students who do not speak English in the home.
