Helping Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Students Navigate Bullying: What Teachers Need to Know

Bullying remains one of the most pressing challenges facing educators, students, and families today. While traditional bullying persists in nearly every school, cyberbullying has emerged as an equally concerning phenomenon extending beyond school walls. The landscape of bullying has shifted dramatically over the last decades with the rise of digital technology, with reported incidences of cyberbullying doubling between the years 2007 and 2019 (Patchin & Hinduia, 2019). According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, 2024), 26.5% of students experience online harassment. Bullying during childhood and adolescence is a dangerous behavior linked to violence, antisocial conduct, and depression. Media reports of school violence and cyberbullying highlight the emotional distress experienced by victims, which can result in severe psychological effects and, in some cases, physical retaliation against the perpetrators. Educators must understand these modern bullying dynamics to support all learners, particularly for gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) students who may be at increased risk due to their unique social-emotional profiles.

Supporting Twice-Exceptional Students: The Role of EdTech as a Tool

Throughout my career, the phrase “I know a kid like that” has often emerged during discussions about educational technology (edtech) and the social-emotional needs of students. Twice-exceptional (2e) students, characterized by the coexistence of high abilities and learning disabilities, thrive in programs that cater to their holistic development—a goal that traditional education systems often miss (Baum et al., 1990; Villanueva et al., 2019). While edtech has the potential to boost academic success and motivation, it is insufficient as a standalone solution for addressing the complex needs of 2e students. Effective support for 2e students necessitates a nurturing and flexible environment created by educators who are able to adapt to each student’s unique strengths and challenges. A comprehensive approach where technology serves as a tool rather than a remedy is essential. In addition, teachers must understand the complexities of twice-exceptional students. Therefore, it is critical to prepare educators before implementing new edtech resources.
