    I really enjoyed learning about the brain. It was very detailed and useful to know how our students minds work. I felt the first part was alittle dry. Most of the content was the same material for the Differentiation Topic.

    I was able to gain important information to use with my students.

  9. Lisa – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I truly enjoyed learning all of the information not because of having GT students in my class, but because there was a lot of good updated information of when I last attended college.
