Bridges Education GroupBridges Graduate School

The Bridges Graduate School for Cognitive Diversity in Education offers Ed.D and M.Ed programs in cognitive diversity, and also offers a Certificate program in twice-exceptional education. Bridges Graduate School was founded in 2018 in response to a demand from educators and other professionals for a more formalized course of study about teaching and advocating for 2e students. Bridges Graduate School’s first cohort of students began study in January, 2019. This program encourages students to cultivate the skills, insights, and imagination required of those who will assume leadership roles as instructional leaders, researchers, administrators, and policy makers to promote cognitive diversity at home, school, and in the workplace.

The Bridges Graduate School seeks to inspire and develop innovative leaders of positive change. Drawing from the fields of education and positive psychology, courses explore the intersection of cognitive diversity, talent, interest, and motivation as they relate to gifted, regular, and special education, and to the more complex profiles of 2e students.

2e Teacher Education Programs at Cleveland State University

The Cleveland EDGE- Excellence and Diversity in Gifted Education 

CSU Ohio is excited to announce the proposed Twice-Exceptional Teacher Education (2eTE) program! 

The Twice-Exceptional Teacher Education Program (2eTE) is a leader in education nationally and internationally, transforming teachers and schools to believe that giftedness can be found in diverse schools, diverse students, and expressed in diverse ways. 

The 2eTE focuses on: 

  • Talent identification and development of students whose talents and gifts could be overlooked because of the impact of disability 
  • Mediation of the impact of disabilities- Recognition that disabilities cannot be cured or remediated, but the impacts felt can be mediated.  
  • Integration of special education and gifted education strategies and values 
  • Accessibility of the program to reach teachers and families across the globe 
  • Excellence of educational experiences so that students are challenged at appropriate levels and their learning enriched 
  • Social Justice so that teachers and schools can seek and value talents in diverse schools, diverse students, and the expression of such talents in diverse ways 
  • Collaboration of families, teachers, psychologists, policymakers and other stakeholders in determining educational experiences for students

the g-word or g wordThe G WORD Film
Defying popular myths that assume most gifted people are wealthy, white, and will do fine on their own, THE G WORD reveals the economic, cultural, and gender diversity of our nation’s gifted and talented population at every stage of life, highlighting their educational challenges, social isolation, deep emotional sensitivities, and complex, neurodiverse brains. It puts a face to the physical threats experienced by many in our schools and society-at-large, while also revealing a large and lively community of people working hard to meet their needs while challenging the prejudice and trauma that comes with being labeled “smart” in the 21st century. Directed and produced by Marc Smolowit
