Cajal to Speak at International 2e Teacher Education Conference
We are pleased to share that Cajal Academy has been asked to present the innovative work we are doing at Cajal Academy and the strategies, protocols and wholly new approaches that we have developed for working with twice exceptional kids in particular at this week's international Twice Exceptional Teacher Education (2eTE) Conference in Cleveland, Ohio!
For the past year, Cajal co-founder and Head of School Cheryl Viirand has served on a national task force alongside Heads of School and public school superintendents organized by the Levin College of Public Affairs and Education at Cleveland State University, to aid the University in developing an online curriculum and degree certification program for educators of twice exceptional kids. This conference, which has been jointly organized by the Council for Exceptional Children’s division of The Association for the Gifted, is part of that work.
This conference comes at a fortuitous time, as we are beginning to make an exciting shift towards readiness to begin publishing case studies illuminating our transformational work remediating orthographic processing disorders/dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and core neurocognitive deficits through the Neuroplasticity Interventions developed here at Cajal Academy. In fact, we have been asked to present our findings as part of the ‘Action Research Institute’: an in-person event focused on sharing tips for developing practice-based approaches in a field that has largely been understood as not having research-backed practices. Thus, we are excited to share not only the strategies and approaches that we use at Cajal, but our work to develop the very research that has been missing.
Join Cajal Academy co-founder Cheryl Viirand at the 2nd Annual Twice-Exceptional Teacher Education (2eTE) Conference’s Action Research Institute at Cleveland State University on Thursday, September 19, 2024, or for the hybrid 2eTE conference to be held Friday, September 20-Saturday, September 21 (either in person or virtually).
