  5. Kesia – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed this course

  6. Charlotte – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    The course is really good. However, if we are taking the on-line course we do not have access to the handouts that Lisa continuously refers to. This is a huge disadvantage.

  7. Maha – HARMONY SCIENCE ACADEMY & SCHOOL OF SCIENCE – HOUSTON SOUTH 101846 OR 101862 (verified owner) –

    While the factual information shared was interesting, I felt myself losing interest when the anecdotes dragged on. The pacing was incredibly long and it felt as though major information that was applicable to the classroom was muddled with tangents when the audience became involved. Those conversations could have been screened better

  8. Cynthia – HARMONY SCIENCE ACAD – SAN ANTONIO DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    This was a very good course that helped me understand different types of gifted students.

  9. Adam – HARMONY SCIENCE ACAD – SAN ANTONIO DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    It’s good and effective so far

  10. Dezarae – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was extremely helpful, and I was able to learn ways to help my students with perfectionism.
