Core Faculty
Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education, California
Karen B. Arnstein, Ed.D. is a core faculty member at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education. She received her doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction with a Specialization for the Gifted from the University of Denver. Prior to this, she worked with K-12 students and teachers for over a decade while earning her Master's degree in Education. Her current research is exploring the intersectionality of the 2e and profoundly gifted (PG) to continue to develop the Spiral Model of Development. Karen's doctoral research examined how parents, teachers, psychologists, and educational environments impact the developmental transitions of preadolescent twice-exceptional (2e) students. Karen has presented to audiences at local, state, national, and international conferences on topics including twice exceptionality, classroom supports, paradigm shifts in pedagogy, identification, creating inclusive classrooms, effective differentiation, parental experience of grieving, and the effects of subtle and overt communication on 2e students. She currently serves as a founding IRB Committee Member for Bridges Graduate School and as Secretary of the Board for SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted). Her parenting journey with her twice-exceptional teen and life journey with a profoundly gifted spouse, motivate her to bring awareness and change to create a more inclusive society for all people.
