This course helped me understand a gifted student’s point of view and the reasoning to certain behavior. I especially enjoyed the module that talked about the function of the brain and how it affects learning.

I gave 5 stars because the speaker was easy to listen, expert in her field, did not simply read the power point presentation to me – she kept the audience engaged and even participating, this is a training that I would actually watch again to take better notes!
