Unmasking the "Supergirl": Perfectionism and Gifted Black Girls with Dr. Latonda Mitchell

Dr. Latonda Mitchell is an Elementary Curriculum Specialist with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and an educational researcher whose work centers on the lived experiences of gifted Black girls. Her doctoral research explored how these students navigate perfectionism, identity, and the often-unseen pressures that accompany high achievement. Dr. Mitchell is passionate about helping educators, families, and school leaders better understand the social and emotional experiences of gifted learners and creating educational environments where students are valued for who they are, not just what they accomplish.************************************************************************************************************************Learn more about the Academically Gifted Teacher Certificate through Eastern Carolina University here.
