3.1.1 "We Can Do It, Too!" Blended Learning Strategies for 2E and Gifted English Language Learners
During this session, participants will learn how to incorporate blended learning activities for diverse gifted populations on the elementary and secondary levels. Although the strategies discussed can lead to success for various diverse groups, twice-exceptional and gifted English language learners will be the primary focus. We will also include ways to ensure culturally responsive teaching practices are reflected in lesson planning for these dynamic gifted students through blended learning.
