GAM 2022 Conference (Gifted Association of Missouri)

Passcode: #Gam2022

Gifted and general educators, parents, and caregivers often struggle with the complexities when identifying the characteristics of twice-exceptional (2e) students. It can be difficult to identify who in the building can provide support or assist in locating resources. Finally, it is vital to learn how to integrate technology to support 2e learners, and how to create instructional materials for 2e learners to enhance learning in inclusive classrooms. Participants will be able to:
(1) Identify common characteristics of twice-exceptional (2e) students and be able to locate resources and people in their building for support; (2) Integrate technology and instructional strategies to support twice-exceptional (2e) students in inclusive general and special education environments; (3) Implement instructional strategies with 2e students in the classroom in order to help facilitate their intuitive qualities, celebrate creativity, and develop resilience.
