Gifted students often excel academically while quietly navigating complex emotional and social challenges. This three-part virtual series explores how Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) can support gifted and twice-exceptional learners—including those with ADHD, high creativity, anxiety, and identities from traditionally underrepresented groups. Through expert-led sessions, participants will gain practical strategies to foster resilience, belonging, and inclusive learning environments that honor both intellect and emotional depth.

Educators, counselors, administrators, gifted education specialists, and coordinators.
