Start with your goal
Professional learning for ADHD, gifted and twice-exceptional learners.
The classroom pathway stands on its own. You can strengthen your everyday teaching without pursuing a LEX delivery role.
Build a shared instructional approach
Connect professional learning to a school priority, classroom implementation and evidence your team can review.
Explore school formatsDevelop specialist instructional practice
Progress toward supervised IGNITE delivery and a future application to the LEX educator network.
Explore the proposed progressionThe core series
The LEX Classroom Practice Series
Eight planned courses, four learning hours each. The 32-hour series combines guided learning, rehearsal, classroom application and reflection. Initial examples focus on K–8 practice; schools can discuss adaptations for their setting.
Take a focused course or work through the full sequence. Each course adds one practical component to your teaching toolkit.
See the Whole Learner
ADHD, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, 2E+ and layered learning profiles.
In practice: Separate strengths, observable barriers and instructional needs. Consider language, culture, sensory context and uneven development without diagnosing.
You build: A strengths-and-barriers learner profile with an instructional starting point.
Evidence of learning: Explain which evidence supports each instructional choice.
Classroom Management That Teaches
Predictable routines, relationships, transitions, regulation and respectful accountability.
In practice: Teach expectations explicitly, rehearse transitions, notice antecedents and build supportive responses to disengagement or escalation.
You build: A classroom routines plan, transition script and teach–practice–feedback sequence.
Evidence of learning: Compare transition time and participation with a baseline; preserve student dignity.
Engagement, Pacing & Deep Learning
Purposeful attention, inquiry, discussion, retrieval and meaningful challenge.
In practice: Plan backward from understanding. Alternate explanation, thinking and practice; use checks to adjust pace, technology and challenge.
You build: A redesigned lesson with pacing decisions, questioning prompts and a transfer task.
Evidence of learning: Look for explanation, application and transfer, alongside participation.
Executive Function Inside the Lesson
Task initiation, planning, working memory, organization and follow-through.
In practice: Make the first step visible, externalize plans, model self-talk and gradually reduce prompts while keeping necessary access supports.
You build: A launch routine, visual workflow and plan for fading adult prompts.
Evidence of learning: Track initiation, completion quality and level of prompting across comparable tasks.
Rigor, Access & Differentiation
Gifted depth, neurodivergent access, flexible grouping and multilingual learners.
In practice: Use preassessment, purposeful scaffolds and meaningful extension. Offer accessible ways to learn and respond while preserving the learning goal.
You build: One lesson with an access pathway, a core pathway and an advanced extension.
Evidence of learning: Assess the same intended understanding through suitable response options.
From Ideas to Academic Output
Writing, language, reasoning and the gap between understanding and production.
In practice: Use oral rehearsal, explicit models, paragraph planning and guided practice. Examine selected IGNITE Writing Engineering and Word Detectives examples.
You build: A writing lesson sequence, worked example and feedback guide.
Evidence of learning: Compare work for meaning, organization and independence using a shared rubric.
Assessment That Changes Instruction
Formative assessment, intervention cycles, MTSS and school-support collaboration.
In practice: Choose a measurable instructional goal, use comparable progress checks and document adaptations. Connect classroom implementation to existing 504/IEP plans and school procedures.
You build: A progress-monitoring plan and instructional decision log.
Evidence of learning: Use the evidence to justify continuing, adapting or intensifying instruction.
Coach for Independence
Student coaching, family communication, peer feedback and sustainable teacher practice.
In practice: Rehearse brief coaching conversations, build shared goals and communicate strengths and next steps. Use boundaries and manageable routines to sustain implementation.
You build: A coaching script, family update and 30-day classroom implementation plan.
Evidence of learning: Use learner reflection, a teach-back and follow-up evidence to evaluate the plan.
The stated hours describe the proposed learning design. They are not a claim of approved continuing education credit.
The IGNITE connection
Teach the academic work and the skills to carry it out.
IGNITE brings rigorous academics, explicit instruction, executive-function support, gifted depth, neurodivergent scaffolds and mastery evidence into the same lesson. Teachers learn when to model, when to guide and when to step back.
The core series uses selected examples from IGNITE. Advanced training focuses on faithful implementation of designated curriculum materials. See IGNITE Implementation & Licensing for curriculum support and the developing permissions pathway.
Our whole-person language: Twice-exceptional (2E) is established terminology for giftedness alongside disability or learning differences. LEX uses 2E+ / Twice Exceptional Plus to describe a whole-person, layered-exceptionality educational framework, not a medical diagnosis.
A progression based on practice
Completion is a beginning. Demonstrated skill is the next step.
This is the proposed LEX credential pathway. Advanced stages are in development and open only when instruction, assessment and supervision are ready.

What the credential means
LEX certificates and assessed credentials are issued by LEX Academy. They do not confer a state teaching license, a clinical credential or permission to operate a LEX business. No TEA-approved CPE, CEUs, university credit or outside accreditation is claimed. Confirm any employer acceptance before enrolling.
Assessment is planned around lesson quality, access and rigor, coaching, evidence-based adjustment, and professional practice. Criteria and resubmission options will be provided before registration.
For schools & leadership teams
Professional learning that continues into the classroom.
Start with a priority such as smoother transitions, stronger task initiation, more thoughtful discussion or clearer writing. Then choose the depth of support your team needs.
Focused introduction
A workshop with a next step
A 90-minute, half-day or full-day session built around a selected instructional challenge, worked examples and a practical implementation plan.
Sustained learning
A supported teacher cohort
The eight-course series, peer practice and feedback, with artifacts teachers adapt to their learners and curriculum.
Implementation partnership
A school improvement cycle
Needs review, targeted training, coaching and a leadership debrief. Scope includes agreed measures, responsibilities and follow-up dates.
Agree on evidence before the work begins.
Possible measures include task initiation, transition time, participation, quality of academic work, independent strategy use and teacher implementation. We establish a baseline and review change without promising a particular score increase.
Focused school support
Choose the support your team needs.
Consultation and resource design can be discussed independently of the course series. Each inquiry begins by agreeing on the question, scope, deliverables, fee and timing.
An individual learner
Student Profile Consultation for Schools
Review existing records, work samples and teacher observations to connect a learner’s strengths and barriers to classroom demands. Discuss instructional priorities, strategies to try and evidence to monitor.
The proposed scope may include a teacher consultation and classroom implementation plan. This is educational problem solving, not a new diagnostic evaluation or eligibility determination. School and family permissions are agreed before student information is shared.
Families seeking their own records review can explore Learning Profile Review.
Discuss a student-profile consultationA school or team
School Systems Consultation
Examine how your team organizes MTSS, intervention cycles, Section 504 implementation, documentation and progress monitoring. Identify a manageable workflow, shared responsibilities and review points.
This is consultation on school processes and implementation. Course 7 teaches individual educators to use assessment evidence; systems consultation applies that work across a team. Schools retain responsibility for their procedures and eligibility decisions.
Families seeking support with their child’s school meetings can explore School Advocacy.
Discuss school systems supportMaterials for your setting
Customized Teaching Resources
Discuss lesson materials, slide decks, student explainers, games, parent communication and implementation guides adapted to an agreed grade range, learning goal and audience.
Confirm the format, review process, accessibility and permitted use before work begins. Ready-made curriculum is available to explore separately in the Word Detectives collection.

Interested in building a LEX learning practice?
The long-term vision is a carefully selected network of educators who can deliver approved IGNITE services with LEX training, ongoing supervision and clear quality standards.
Training would be one prerequisite. Participation would also require a separate application, demonstrated practice, operational readiness and a signed agreement defining curriculum and brand use.
A future referral process could match consenting families with approved educators based on fit, availability and location. Course completion does not guarantee acceptance, client leads, earnings or a LEX branch. Branch rights and referral services are not currently offered for purchase.

Meet the founder of LEX AcademyBefore you choose a pathway
Can a school request executive-function training for teachers?
Schools can discuss customized professional learning around task initiation, planning, transitions, classroom routines and student strategy use. We begin with your grade range, classroom needs and implementation goals, then agree on scope, format, timing and fees.
Do you support teachers of gifted students with ADHD or other learning differences?
Gifted depth and neurodivergent supports are part of the LEX approach. A school partnership can connect appropriate academic challenge with explicit instruction and practical scaffolds. The planned course series remains in development; customized training is discussed through an inquiry.
Do I need to use IGNITE in my classroom?
No. The core series is designed to strengthen daily practice across curricula. Advanced IGNITE training focuses on designated LEX materials and has separate prerequisites.
Can I take one course?
The planned model allows focused course participation and a full series. Share your priority when you inquire; availability and the confirmed learning format will be provided before registration.
Are courses available to purchase now?
The series and credential assessments are being developed. You can request details or discuss customized school training now. Cohort dates, fees, terms, included materials and assessment requirements will be confirmed before enrollment or payment.
Will the hours count toward my teaching certificate?
No approved renewal credit is currently claimed. LEX-issued completion certificates document the learning completed. Any future approved CPE arrangement will be stated explicitly for the eligible offering.
Do I need access to a classroom for assessment?
The core series can use classroom or simulated practice. Assessed practitioner and advanced credentials require an approved setting for demonstrating implementation. Evidence should be de-identified and handled under the applicable school and family permissions.
Does training allow me to open a LEX Academy branch?
No. A future LEX operating relationship would require separate approval and a written agreement. The proposed educator network is in development, and no leads, income or branch rights are guaranteed.
What would make the biggest difference in your classroom?
Tell us your role, grade range, training priorities and whether you are planning for yourself or a school team. Please leave student-identifying information out of your inquiry.
