Who Is the 2e Student? | |
The 2e student may appear to be capable and bright but often does not demonstrate that ability when asked to produce work in the classroom, or their behavior and learning challenges may mask their strengths, making them appear to be much less capable than they are. |
|
|
|
Join GiftedNYS and Dr. Lois Baldwin to learn more about helping 2e students thrive in the classroom. |
|
|
|
Helping 2e students thrive requires adopting a mindset of “Yes, AND...” This webinar will explore the importance of recognizing and supporting giftedness AND areas of challenge for success in the classroom and beyond for these unique students. We will discuss the national definition that focuses on recognizing and meeting the needs of 2e students in the classroom through a balanced approach of strength-based activities, social and emotional supports, and learning accommodations.

This is a FREE event. Registration is REQUIRED. |
