  1. Lacy – ROSCOE ISD (verified owner) –

    It’s a lot and pretty dry

  2. Cari – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course!

  3. Jimmie – TYLER ISD (verified owner) –

    Quiz was a too difficult with multi choice.

  4. Mary – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    The presenter was very entertaining while presenting some very complex student behavior in a very short time.

  5. Orlando – ROSCOE ISD (verified owner) –

    The course is not bad but the quiz questions number one and two are very confusing. You need to choose more than one answer in both.

  6. Angie – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I think it is important for us to recognize that our high achieving students can be struggling with mental health. It doesn’t always present itself in the ways we think it might. One of my big takeaways from this course is that we may be encouraging behavior in high achieving students that may diagnose a student who struggles academically.

  7. Jennifer – TEXARKANA ISD (verified owner) –

    It was great!

  8. Rebekah – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    I did not feel this course was very directly tied to GT learners or how to support them specifically. It could have related to any child or adult.

  9. Tracy – River View Local Schools (verified owner) –

    I learned a lot about mental health issues.

  10. Lydia – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was very informative about mental disorders and included simple strategies to help students in the classroom.
