Meeting the Dual Needs of Twice-Exceptional Learners: A Strengths-Based Approach
Guest speaker: Katie Coder
Creating a supportive classroom environment that utilizes a strength-based approach is essential for meeting the needs of twice-exceptional students. By recognizing the strengths and challenges that 2E learners have in the classroom, educators can effectively plan to meet their dual needs in a way that honors the students’ unique abilities. In this session participants will be guided through a small group activity using vignettes to examine the complexities of a 2E learner and create a dual-differentiated approach for a lesson using the strengths of the 2E learner.
