Creating a Toolkit for Identifying Twice-Exceptional Students
William F. Morrison and Mary G. Rizza
Best practices in the identification of the twice-exceptional point to the use of multi-dimensional assessment that outlines specific areas of strength and concern. Students who are twice-exceptional remain a misunderstood population in schools, thus making identification that much more difficult. The purpose of this study was to review the extant literature in the field of twice-exceptional studies and to design a plan for identification to be used by school districts. This article reports on Project O2E, a state-funded collaboration program that resulted in a toolkit for identifying students who are twice-exceptional. Also included in this article is a discussion of issues raised during the implementation of the toolkit.
