4.1.10 Strategies for Supporting Students Who are 2E

This presentation will focus on the research and practical strategies for meeting the needs of students with twice-exceptionalities (2e) in the regular education classroom. Although research on 2e students has increased in recent decades, it has not necessarily translated into their needs being met in schools in the United States. There continues to be a lack of consensus on both the needs and the characteristics of 2e students as well as limited understanding of the most effective strategies for teaching these students. This presentation will identify evidence-based strategies that teachers and administrators should consider when supporting and instructing 2e students. Additionally, this presentation will share the results of a recent study co-authored by the lead presenter that examined how effectively colleges and universities in a large state in the United States known for teacher preparation is providing training for pre-service teachers for meeting the needs of 2e students.
