2E: Understanding Our Twice Exceptional Students
2E: Understanding Our Twice Exceptional Students 1.5 quarter credit through District 196 or a 1 semester credit co-sponsored by Concordia University and District 196 The term “twice exceptional” or “2E” refers to intellectually gifted students who have one or more learning needs, such as dyslexia, ADHD, OCD or autism. Twice-exceptional students may think and process information differently. Like many other gifted children, 2E children may be more emotionally and intellectually sensitive than children of average intelligence. At the same time, due to their learning differences, twice exceptional kids struggle with what other kids do easily. This course outlines characteristics of 2E learners, shares the perspective of stakeholders in a 2E child’s life, and provides classroom strategies for work with 2E students. Coursework can be completed at your own pace between July 5-August 24. 35 hours of instruction equals one semester credit * District graduate quarter credits can be used for movement on the salary schedule but generally will not transfer from district to district. For an additional $175.00 fee an individual may obtain 1 semester graduate credit from Concordia University. Tuition is due and payable in full by the first class session. Course approval forms need to be completed. Courses may be used for renewal units. ** Individuals at MA+60 may audit any courses for $28.15 per quarter credit. Individuals “auditing” classes are expected to complete class assignments. -

Would I qualify for Medicaid? What is the 60-month claw back? What if my spouse goes into the nursing home and exhausts our money? What about my current trust; does it avoid the nursing home? Most people believe that their trust shields the assets from the nursing home and creditors. Many people may be wrong! Walk through these questions and many more. -
