Description
Do you ever feel like you’re behind the 8-ball when you do a walk-through, or hold a traditional assessment instrument up against a gifted classroom? That doesn’t have to be the case when you have tools specific to assessing gifted classes.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:
- Empower teachers to grow in their strengths
- Discern the difference between good goals and ambiguous goals

- Use language that fosters healthy relationships with teachers
