Statement of Professional Goals and How These Goals are Reflected
in the Plan of Study

Directions: Please include a statement that describes how your selection of courses,
including electives, externship, and research tools, contribute to your professional goals.

My main goal is to expand my knowledge and be expert in Twice-

Exceptional students. My plan in dissertation involve to use a
unique assistive technology with twice exceptional students to
help them to promote their potential. I need to expand my
knowledge with technology that serve gifted student and used in
education systems as well as with my knowledge with the
specific needs such as autism, learning disabilities and
social/emotional disorders. Therefore, my chosen to the
educational students course in the electives and minor will help
me in this goal. My externship will be within district six to train
on the Response to Intervention methods to effective deal with
twice-exceptional students.
