Alexandra Lawson began her teaching career as a secondary English and Literature teacher. After acquiring her Certificate in Gifted Education, she coordinated a Gifted and Talented program at her school before moving into literacy support. Her merged interest in gifted education and supporting students with learning disabilities led her to investigate strength-based strategies in practice. Alex has introduced an elective for 2e students at her school, where she will continue to gather data to improve the 2e experience.
