Please join us via Zoom on Wednesday, March 22nd from Noon - 1 PM for our monthly meeting.

Assessing gifted and 2e students is no easy feat. Several assessments dedicated to highlighting these students' unique potential must be included to provide impactful recommendations. In this session, you will learn tips for choosing or requesting assessments to best fit your 2e student. Participants will also leave with recommendations and questions to ask to ensure that their 2e students are equitably assessed and are provided with accommodations to support their growth to potential.
