  7. Christina – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great explanation on the difference between fixed and growth mindset and the motivation or lack of Gifted students have in the classroom.

  8. Norman – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    info on fixed vs growth mindset was awesome. I now see the situation deeper than before.

  9. John – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –

    This is a course that takes some concepts that are familiar to educators and applies them specifically to this group of learners (underachieving gifted students), when often these concepts are more focused on the general population or identified special education students. The presenter is clearly experienced and able to draw upon specific examples from her own practice to illustrate her points.

  10. Bruce – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed the strategies for helping students that are gifted with motivation.
