The Twice Exceptional Student
Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV
Gifted Professional Development Series
The Twice Exceptional Student
Students who are twice-exceptional are identified as gifted and one or more disabilities. They are often excluded from gifted programming when they fail to meet general classroom expectations. As a result, these students become at-risk for school failure because of their inconsistent performance. Participants in this workshop will learn about the twice-exceptional student, how their learning disability can mask their giftedness, and how their giftedness can suppress their learning disability. Implementing differentiation for elementary and adolescent students, identifying instructional strategies, and applying classroom accommodations will be explored.
It is suggested that a classroom teacher, special education teacher and/or gifted teacher attend together.
This workshop session will focus on the application of the four Domains of Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching.
