News from the 2e Center: Graduate School Opening

This is an exciting time to be part of the 2e community. Worldwide, many are catching the 2e wave, and our Center is excited to be a part of the momentum. Just in the last few weeks, we have been communicating with scholars, practitioners, and parents from Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. This month we are presenting at a conference in Munster, Germany, dedicated to giftedness and twice-exceptionality. Earlier this summer, 28 participants, made up of teachers, administrators, parents, and therapists from six states, Canada, and Australia, attended a week-long “Study with the Masters” program on the Bridges campus. They came to learn more about how to meet the needs of 2e students and their families.

Further evidence of the desire for knowledge and skill in this area was the popularity of the online Bright and Quirky Summit, organized by Debbie Steinberg Kuntz last spring. [See the previous issue of 2e Newsletter (July, 2018) for information on this event.] Over 16,000 participants from around the world listened to a formidable group of professionals sharing their knowledge, insights, and expertise related to nurturing twice-exceptional students.
