"Do you have students who demonstrate a discrepancy between their intellectual potential and academic performance? Exhibiting advanced thinking (e.g., complex reasoning, insightful questions) while struggling with classroom assignments? Highly curious and engaged in independent learning but facing difficulties with traditional classroom structures or expectations? Demonstrating high levels of creativity and imagination but struggling with organization, time management, or basic academic skills? These students may be twice-exceptional (2e). Consider these strategies to support 2e learners in your classroom."
