On this week’s podcast, Ed Trust’s Ary Amerikaner and Kayla Patrick join Mike Petrilli to discuss why students of color lack access to gifted programs and advanced coursework, and ways to help fix that. On the Research Minute, Amber Northern examines how peer suspensions affect non-suspended students’ learning trajectories.

The episode discusses the Education Trust's recent report, "Inequities in Advanced Coursework," which includes a within-district analysis contributed by Education Resource Strategies.
