Help me support curious (gifted) learners who need more

"We know we have gifted learners who need more support to thrive—not just academically, but socially and emotionally too—and to understand their unique brains."

 

Giftedness is a form of neurodiversity. Many gifted learners also have other brain differences—like autism, ADHD, or dyslexia—which can make their strengths harder to see. Without support, they can struggle in ways that go unnoticed.

 

How can we support these learners—especially when teachers are already stretched meeting so many different needs?

 

Here are some simple, effective tools and resources to help you better understand and support gifted learners in your classroom—and build stronger support across your school.

Who Are Our Gifted Learners?

 

Start here! Our 20-minute webinar gives you the big picture—what giftedness is, what it isn’t, and how it intersects with other forms of neurodivergence.
