    I have really enjoyed this course. I have learned so many strategies and have gained many ideas for working with gifted students. It’s really helpful to know their social and emotional needs.

  2. Oralia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Informative tools teachers need to understand the needs of gifted children.

  3. Norma – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Lisa is a great presenter and helps us understand by giving examples of what that would look like in the classroom. I feel now that understanding the needs of GT students is as important as the at-risk kids.

  4. Paulina – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Loved this course! It really gave me a different perspective on how to treat an educated gifted students. I recommended it 100%!

  5. Debra – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I have had no training working with Gifted students. I am a new teacher and taught in the classroom for 5 months before distance learning. I learned so much today and realize that I “failed” my gifted kids in some ways this year, but have learned so much to bounce back up like Bozo or the Weeble.

  6. Mallory – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    It is a great training for knowing the types of gifted students and how to handle them.

    5 stars.
