A Thoughtful Approach to Supporting Gifted & Twice-Exceptional Learners

Series Introduction

Families of gifted and twice-exceptional learners often find themselves asking the same questions again and again:

Why does school feel harder than it should?
Why is my child capable, curious, and bright — yet frustrated or disengaged?
Why does support so often feel like it comes after struggle instead of before?

This space was created to explore those questions with care.

Here, we’ll be sharing reflections, insights, and practical ideas around learning environments that better support gifted and twice-exceptional learners — academically, emotionally, and developmentally. Our focus is on approaches that honor curiosity, flexible pacing, and confidence-building, rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

You’ll find conversations about multilevel learning, small-group instruction, literacy development, perfectionism, and what it means to create learning spaces where learners feel capable and supported.

This blog will continue to grow over time, with contributions from educators, learning guides, and advocates who work closely with gifted and twice-exceptional learners.

If you’re navigating these questions as a parent or caregiver, you’re in the right place. More conversations are coming — thoughtfully, intentionally, and with learners at the center.

New reflections are added regularly to our blog as our work and conversations evolve.
