  1. Xochitl – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    A lot of great information and resources.

  2. Leticia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative course, because we do see many of these characteristics on our gifted students, as far as perfectionist.

  3. Ashley – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course! The brain stuff was very interesting.

  4. Timothy – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought is was helpful.

  5. Raul – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    It is very informative on what to do to meet our gifted students need and to understand the nature of gifted kids

  6. Tiffany – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Very well presented. Great examples and practical application.

  7. John – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was fantastic. The resources were excellent and the discussions were enlightening.

  8. Trisha – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    I feel that this course would be better in person.

  9. Breanne – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    There was some good information, but there was also a lot of unnecessary information that felt like it was bogging everything down. I would have rather spent more time learning about how to intervene when students struggle with perfectionism or meeting the needs of students than relearning about the Anatomy and Physiology of the brain.

  10. Lesley – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

    I really like the detailed explanations the trainer has. I also like the websites and strategies she let us know about.
