Description
Through Project 2Excel, teachers of twice exceptional learners in four districts have been trained via an online certificate program, monthly "teaching topics", paid writing and planning time for curriculum development, and project consultant observers who visit their classrooms monthly. This 4-pronged professional development-model has produced remarkably positive results in teachers' attitudes about working with these children from a talent development rather than deficit perspective. The students themselves have also made remarkable adjustments in the two years of this program, with marked improvements in self-regulation, organization, math and reading achievement, and the lessening of stress and anxiety.
