On Tuesday, February 24th at 7:30 pm Kulanu’s PARC Coordinator, Melissa Sornik, LMSW will present a workshop on reaching and teaching the “twice exceptional” (2e) student.
The guidelines of No Child Left Behind leave little room for the divergent learning styles of some of our most gifted students. Among those are 2e students; those who possess superior strengths and abilities combined with areas of deficit. They can be among the most challenging students, both academically and behaviorally. As a result, these high potential students remain largely unidentified and underserved, and are at risk of failure.
This workshop is designed for parents, educators and related service providers. It will present a view of the Twice Exceptional (2e) student through a positive lens, promoting a shift in focus from disability to ability.
Key strategies and accommodations will be presented to help uniquely gifted learners reach their potential.
Melissa Sornik is the co-founder and past president of TECA, Long Island Twice Exceptional Children’s Advocacy.
This workshop is free and will be held at Temple Beth El -- 46 Locust Avenue, Cedarhurst
Space is limited. RSVP by Thursday, February 19th by phone at (516) 569-3083, or by e-mail to melissa@kulanukids.org.
