Publishing books that support gifted kids and the adults who work with them has been a core tenet of Free Spirit Publishing for nearly forty years. While a lot has changed in those decades, our commitment to supporting the social, emotional, and academic needs of gifted and 2e students remains just as important.
We also shine a spotlight on Empowering Underrepresented Gifted Students, which brings together students and expert scholar voices to recommend practices and strategies for helping underserved high-potential students claim their right to an education that addresses their unique needs.
For additional resources on supporting gifted and 2e students, read on. Also check out our free download of the month, “Accommodations and Modifications for Executive Dysfunction” from Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today’s Classroom.
