Maximizing the Potential of Twice-Exceptional Learners: Creating a Framework of Stakeholder Supports
Gifted Child Quarterly, v68 n1 p19-33 2024
Through a qualitative case study approach, this study sought to understand how an independent school for gifted learners supports parents, teachers, and students in maximizing the potential of twice-exceptional learners. Findings indicated that the school's success in working with twice-exceptional learners could be attributed to a triangular framework of supports created for all three stakeholder groups--twice-exceptional learners, their parents, and their teachers--that facilitated both academic achievement and social and emotional well-being. The framework of support arose from the school's cultivation of a culture of acceptance of twice-exceptionality coupled with a belief in a team approach to problem-solving. A detailed discussion of the framework of supports is provided, and implications for working with twice-exceptional learners and avenues for future research are discussed.
