Understanding the Twice Exceptional Learner February 8, 2023

Course Description

• This course will provide opportunities for participants to create a foundational understanding of twice exceptional learners including definitions, cognitive/affective characteristics, identification practices, and social/emotional needs. Participants will explore ways a Multi Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework can be used to identify, plan for, and serve learners with multi-exceptionalities. We will analyze and discuss best practices for nurturing learner potential, and create a plan to implement a range of evidence-based strategies to differentiate instruction, content, and assignments for twice exceptional learners.
