STRATEGIES FOR SUPPORTING TWICE-EXCEPTIONAL LEARNERS
Module 2: Affective Needs and Motivation for 2e Students
Module 6: Anxiety, Depression, and Related Diagnoses
Competencies D, E
In this facilitator-led course designed by Neurodiversity expert Emily Kircher-Morris, NPESC coordinators will lead participants through pre-recorded videos, group activities and discussion that guide educators to understand the unique needs and scaffolds to support students with multiple exceptionalities.
Topics:
- What factors uniquely influence the social and emotional needs of 2e students?
- How can I help 2e students learn to self-advocate?
- How can I support the motivation and effort of 2e students?
- How can I use the Metacognitive Cycle to help 2e students reach their goals?
- How does anxiety impact gifted learners? What strategies can I use to help students with anxiety manage their emotions?
- How can I support students with Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, or Obsessive-Compulsive diagnoses?
- How do I support a 2e student who is experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide?
Intended Audience:
Any educator who supports twice-exceptional students will benefit from completing
modules in this course. It is appropriate for elementary, middle, and high school
educators.
