    very helpful.

  3. Mark – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    Really did not enjoy the first part. There was too much time letting the participants talk about things that were really not relevant and sometimes inaccurate.
    The last half was very good and informative.

    This course was so helpful. I learned many new ideas and strategies that I can apply in my classroom.

    I like the information that is given. It can be applied to all students not only the gifted.

    It was very interesting learning about the good and bad sides of perfectionism and ideas to discourage perfectionism and encourage excellence.

  7. Geneive – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I was fascinated with the way the brain works and how it ties in to the way a gifted child may percieve things or how sleep can help all children, behave better, focus, and or perform better.

  8. Jesus – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative and beneficial for all teachers.

  9. Matthew – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    So many great tools for adjusting your teaching to help gifted students have a better experience in your class.
