I was a college instructor and have only taught in high school for a few years. Many of the ideas Lisa touches upon, are pedagogy standards in college, which can be very different from the high school curriculum. I was happy to see that Lisa is approaching teaching GT in a similar manner. Great information.

I got some useful information from this training but it seemed very stretched out and there were many concepts and ideas shared that were not well tied in to gifted learners.
