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?

In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:

It was disconcerting to hear from the first part of the presentation that she felt teachers were not proficient in their teaching. Also, it was a lot of “fluff” and not really informative.
