The Bridges 2e Center for Research and Professional Development and the 2e Resource produced The Spotlight on 2e Series of booklets. Bridges 2e Media now offers them here for registered 2eNews.com members. Please contact us at info@2enews.com for additional information about the series and permissions around usage and distribution.This entry in the series is entitled “What 2e Students Need: Setting up 2e Learners for Success” and is based on research from the Bridges 2e Center. It was originally published in 2019.
Here are some ideas that parents and teachers can use when dealing with an asynchronous 2e child.
1. Give advanced opportunities in a student’s areas of strength, but make sure these opportunities don’t tax the student’s underdeveloped motor skills. For instance, if a student has advanced abilities in science, allow that student to engage in experimentation and discussion, but don’t require that the student write out lab reports at grade level.
2. Use technology and scaffolded assignments, especially for writing tasks. Scaffolding builds on what learners already know and helps them accomplish what they would otherwise be unable to do. To be most effective, adults who provide scaffolding should have a keen under-standing of asynchronous development (Baum, Novak, Dann, & Preuss, 2010).
