<p>Since
teachers’ referrals involve evaluation of students through sustained
observation, comprehensive features of giftedness can be identified. In 2007, a
project called Having Opportunities Promotes Excellence (HOPE) was launched at
Purdue University with funds from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (Gentry et
al., 2015). This 3-year project aimed to help identify giftedness among
low-income and ethnically diverse students and serve these students in advanced
programs. To do so, the project team created the <i>HOPE Scale</i> (Gentry et
al., 2015), an instrument used by teachers to assess the academic and
socioemotional characteristics of gifted students. Previous results from
Project HOPE served as the foundation for the current studies. This
dissertation is comprised of three related research papers investigating the <i>HOPE
Scale</i> as an equitable measure for identifying underrepresented students for
the gifted services. Following are the purpose and research questions for each
of these related studies.</p><p></p><h3><a></a><a>Study
