Description
Join us for four Monday mornings for our summer virtual Coffee Shop! We’ll gather virtually to explore Emily Kircher Morris’s book, "Teaching Twice Exceptional Learners in Today’s Classroom".
According to the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) the term “twice-exceptional,” also referred to as “2e,” is used to describe gifted children who, have the characteristics of gifted students with the potential for high achievement and give evidence of one or more disabilities as defined by federal or state eligibility criteria. These disabilities may include specific learning disabilities (SpLD), speech and language disorders, emotional/behavioral disorders, physical disabilities, autism spectrum, or other impairments such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
It is not often well-known or well-understood that students who are gifted may also have a disability— just as students with disabilities may also be gifted (referred to as “masking”). Twice-exceptional students can be misunderstood, disciplined, underchallenged and left behind. Join our coffee talks where we will dive into Emily’s book to identify ways to support twice-exceptional learners and interventions that will unmask the potential of all learners within inclusive classrooms.
The class can only run if we have a minimum of 10 registered participants.
