1. Course Focus and Objectives

Focus

The focus of this course is to provide a framework to identify and support twice-exceptional students. When we say "provide support" we are referring to the whole-child and the entire learning community.  

The content is based on research and the collective experience of current and past specialists on the Twice-Exceptional Project from the Colorado Department of Education.  

Besides the content and discussion boards, there are quizzes for each lesson. You must pass the quizzes with 100% of the points to be able to download the certificate for each part. The certification can be used for relicensing certification hours.

●     Establish a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment for a diverse population of students (Colorado Teacher Quality Standards [CTQS] II)
