  1. Miriam – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Very informative and memorable.

  2. Michael – WEATHERFORD ISD (verified owner) –

    The “meat” of what was “taught” in this session could have been “taught” in 30 minutes to an hour. The bulk of this session was just a colossal waste of time. She’s gifted apparently, says many teachers are, even if not diagnosed (in a different session), then proceeds to “teach” in a way that would be considered poor practice for ANY student, much less a gifted one. She went on for ages about the brain & said nothing I didn’t already know… I’m sure it was new info for many people, but what purpose did it actually serve?
