Balancing Support and Challenge for Twice-Exceptional Learners through AI-Infused Lesson Design

This strategy prepares graduate teacher candidates to design inclusive lessons for twice-exceptional (2e) learners, or talented students with disabilities, by using AI to infuse both scaffolds for access and enrichments for challenge. Candidates critically evaluate outputs, revising to ensure accuracy, rigor, and alignment with Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The approach models how technology can expand instructional possibilities while reinforcing professional judgment needed to meet the needs of 2e learners.
