This page contains information for both educators and parents working with gifted and twice-exceptional children.
This section will contain both general and specific teaching strategies that apply working with 2e children.
This section is dedicated to assisting parents of both gifted and twice-exceptional children as they traverse the educational landscape.
Teaching the twice-exceptional student can be a taxing chore. However, once you invest the time, energy, and patience into the twice-exceptional child the resulting reward can be akin to watching the butterfly emerge from the cocoon. Despite their amplified frustrating disability(s), twice-exceptional students have immense potential and are generally highly gifted.
Students with innate intellectual potential have the ability to learn more quickly, more deeply, and with greater intensity than the average child. The key here, however, is the term potential. Gifted students still need an empathetic teacher willing to take them on that marvelous journey. Here are a few ways to do that.

Then their lives took different paths.

Why is the gap so great between our hopes, our intentions, even our decisions-and what we are actually able to bring about? Even when we are able to make important changes-in our own lives or the groups we lead at work-why are the changes are so frequently short-lived and we are soon back to business as usual? What can we do to transform this troubling reality? In this intensely practical book, Harvard psychologists Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey take us on a carefully guided journey designed to help us answer these very questions. And not just generally, or in the abstract. They help each of us arrive at our own particular answers that can solve the puzzling gap between what we intend and what we are able to accomplish. How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work provides you with the tools to create a powerful new build-it-yourself mental technology.

Prepped and primed up 5 inch by 5 inch canvas panels and began painting ordinary objects and still lifes. Nice and quickly so you get the essence without the detail.
I liked them so much I decided to make a series. I've painted about 30 so far, and will continue on until something else takes favour.
I've double framed them all in crisp white fashion, ready and waiting for my art exhibits this weekend at both the Bath Guildhall with Beckford Fine Art and the bi-annual Cheltenham Open Studios event.
So if you are in Cheltenham or nearby, I'm at Venue 7. You'll be most welcome to take a tour of the studio.
Red Nose Day is fast approaching over here, and people are generously supporting the quirky, funny and imaginative fund raising ideas that are put before them.
My studio painting partner Lella was keen to host a cake sale at her winebar The Retreat asking friends, family and fellow Suffolk Parade traders to contribute something baked.
Obviously I wondered if I had the skills to recreate Dan's wedding cake, but thought "what the heck" & bought the 23 & 25cm cake tins and piping bag for the task. I believed I had every kitchen gadget - well, seemingly not so.
To deliver the cake, Tony had to drive me just 200 meters, whilst I cradled it on my lap, and nestled the coulis between my feet in the foot well.
It was worth the care to see my friend's face. She exclaimed "Gill!" and placed the sweet piece in the centre of the table, saying it deserved a profile.
Lella had sold a quarter to a lady, and upon the buyer's return, was hoping she would be inclined to purchase the entire cake. I thought that unlikely, so cut the quarter out of the cake and reserved it for her.
15 minutes after cutting the cake, not much remained. Lunchtime diners wanted it for their dessert & it flew away.
I sat with Viv for a moment, she's a potter and art school owner, who'd supported the event by eating 6 cakes.
But got little peace as a woman wanted my business card thinking I was a cake maker, and others sought me out to congratulate me on the cake I'd brought.
I confess to indulging in feelings of pride for the remainder of the day. Is that really sinful of me?
David Everitt-Matthias at the Champignon Sauvage round the corner also contributed a Dutche treacle tart with coconut and molasses which I tried. Delightful.
However you say it or spell it, I've wanted to create this dish every time we discuss our Christmas dinner options.
The internet of course is usually a great source of information, but not really so when it comes to making this dish.
Both excellent guides, cutting through the flannel, and getting right to the heart of the exact details I was looking for.
So, after dithering somewhat, I choose to use turkey + guineafowl + chicken + pheasant in that order, and losing the ducken, which changes my poultry turducken into a distinctly gamely one.
Next up, I work on my stuffing, I figure it's essential in keeping moisture within the meats, adding more taste, whilst also accentuating the layered lines.
I'm trying to avoid adding in even more meat, and eschew minced pork suggestions and go with a Spanish feel of lambs liver/ baked mushrooms/ Oloroso sherry/ thyme and shallot, soaked overnight in the booze, which I then purée to a paste the following morning.
And on Christmas Eve morning, I begin the deboning task, after sharpening my knives and watching Elizabeth's video link once more.
Therefore, it's important to note that the blade of bone between the two breast areas gets very close to the skin. Extra care is needed when working around this part, in order not to pierce the skin.
But otherwise, it's a stress-free task if done steadily, which takes about 20 minutes using one filleting knife.
I should also point out The Food in My Beard's tip of using breast meat when filling the turkey shell, rather than deboning any of the other birds you are using. So, thereafter, it's a simple case of removing the fillets from the pheasant, the chicken and the guineafowl, reserving their carcasses for the 2 stocks: turkey and game.
I saw plenty of videos of cooks home and professional packing the bird to the max, one even tearing the skin in doing so.
I decide to under stuff the bird, and to keep the vulnerable central back channel where the blade was housed stuffing free, and to pack just along the sides.
I also lay the chicken, guineafowl and pheasant breast left to right, feeling that the bird will have more form and structure running opposite to the turkey breast. I season with the paste and salt and pepper as I work.
A tip. Put your salt and pepper into a little pot, and throw away the remains which have been contaminated with raw meat.
Cocktail sticks are not enough to hold things together. But as I'm putting the turkey back on my own, I need them to give me some security as I work with string and a darning needle. Use pliers if the needle struggles to come through.
This element proves a bit trickier than I anticipated as it's a two person job, but the task is done thanks to my not overstuffing the bird.
Flip it over carefully, and admire your ability to still make it look like a Christmas turkey after all.
Tip: At this point you need to think about keeping the structure, as there is nothing really holding the bird together save the skin.
I slide two metal skewers through the body, wing - wing, and leg - leg. It causes no harm, and helps with thorough, even baking too.
But I feel the easiest way to approach this is with a thermometer, aiming for an internal temperature of 70-75 to be sure.
Removed from the oven, and rested the joint in 4 layers of foil wrap for 1hr30, whilst I made the sauce and vegetables in the freed up oven.
Popped onto Facebook this morning, whilst waiting for my aromatically frooty tea to cool, to see how my little niece and her teenage mates are getting along.
They can't hold water on there, and I get to know things in the family before others find out sometimes.
I particularly like to click through these awards rankings to add fine blogs to my RSS food feed for early morning eye guzzling.
Kavey, Cherrapeño I've already subscribed to, that goes for Matthew Fort too. Anne's Kitchen, I do like her new profile photo, exactly illustrating the difference between an amateur and a professional [photographer] at their work.
I haven't the foggiest how my weblog got there, although these publications employ researchers in the field I imagine.
No more cobweb threads over the face when fumbling around for garden equipment, nor jumpy glimpses of long, scurrying legs to be seen out of the corner of your eye.
I often hear about bloggers who eat out at the homes of their neighbours, and entertain regularly themselves. Creating food bonds that go beyond friendship.
Well, we've been invited to our first dinner party in about 10 years, and more importantly, accepted.
The offer came out of the blue from a couple my husband knows from morning swimming in the Lido. And I returned home at the weekend to the following brief: cook and bring finger food for a potluck garden party on Tuesday.
I asked some food friends for advice and got excellent suggestions - but couldn't cook it all, much as I wanted to.
So, simply, here are the foods prepared in my little kitchen. It looks a lot, and, for my inexperience, it was too much.
gently grill your pittas, slice in half through the middle, and fill with the pinchito pieces, dressing with the remainder of the sauce
560g Shipton Mill ciabatta flour (roughly ground to promote air pockets) or T65 or white bread flour
press the dough into a rectangular shape 1 inch deep and lift it onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment (not greaseproof paper)
place a little water bowl into an oven heated to 200deg to preserve the softness of the loaf, and bake for 30 - 35mins
turn the oven off and allow it to cool for 5mins in the oven, before removing the loaf and cooling it on wire rack.
