Thinking Twice About Ways to Help Twice Exceptional Students | Psychology | 2e | Gifted

The systems in place for gifted kids in public education often fall short for 2e students. Sometimes 2e kids aren't even identified with the limited testing resources of some schools. In the first of several episodes on twice-exceptionality this year, we talk with Chris Wiebe from Bridges Academy in Los Angeles CA about how they address the specific needs of twice-exceptional students, and how other school districts can help 2e kids thrive.
