Great Teaching Starts with a Strong Foundation: Online Training for Gifted Teachers

Great Teaching Starts with a Strong Foundation: Online Training for Gifted Teachers “Start from the very beginning,” by offering gifted teachers the best training available! One of my favorite aunts passed away a few years ago. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her and wish she was still around.

In a 2012 profile in the Washington Times, Sir Branson is quoted as saying: “Back when I was in school, few people understood dyslexia and what to do for it… My teachers thought I was lazy and not very clever, and I got bored easily...thinking of [...]

The true face of the multi-exceptional student

The true face of the multi-exceptional student Removing the Masks of Multi-Exceptionalities Pushing, fighting, scrabbling, reaching… I can’t breathe… I can’t escape! That sounds like a scene from the latest thriller to hit movie theaters, but it’s not! That’s what it’s like inside the mind of a multi-exceptional student. I have a special treat in today’s review of “Removing the Masks of Multi-Exceptionalities”. In this course, you’ll benefit from first-hand experiences of a mother/daughter team who remove the mask that often hides the true experience of a 2E or multi-exceptional learner.
