We are thrilled to welcome our readers to the next iteration of Crucial Conversations — a package of content offerings including a blog, a parent-educator forum, a podcast, and the monthly webinar you all know and love.

Launching over the next few months, Crucial Conversations will feature:

•Crucial Conversations About Cognitive Diversity Webcast:

Hosted by Maria Kennedy, this monthly webcast features in-depth conversations with the top minds in gifted and twice-exceptional education. Past guests have included Julie Skolnick, Dan Peters, Scott Barry Kaufman, Susan Baum, Robin Schader, the O’Kelley Lab, and many more.

•Crucial Conversations Blog:

Hear directly from parents and educators of twice-exceptional students. Kicking off the blog is Anahid Koumriqian, a former public school teacher, holder of a master’s degree from Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education, and a parent to a 2e child.

•Crucial Conversations Podcast:

What strategies are educators of twice-exceptional students employing to best support this population of learners? Maria Kennedy chats with classroom teachers about what works for 2e kids.
