We were joined by Curious Cardinals (@curiouscardinals7363 to learn how mentorship helps students discover their full potential and explore their passions through interest-based learning. Twice-exceptional and neurodivergent learners can explore, learn, and grow with mentors who also have high abilities and learning challenges, in a truly inclusive and supportive environment with someone who finally “gets” them. They can follow a customized curriculum that leans into their special interests, translates their passions into real life skills, and addresses their challenge areas, with support from a mentor. They can see themselves in and be inspired by someone who has been in their shoes and has faced similar challenges, but has developed strategies to maximize their brain’s strengths.
