Utilize the new National Twice-Exceptional Community of Practice definition to explore characteristics, programming options, and strategies to support learning for this unique population of learners
Discuss collaborative approaches to building support
Reflect on what can be learned from twice-exceptional students and how, in meeting their needs, we might better serve all students

For parents & educators!
