  10. Heather – HARMONY SCIENCE ACADEMY & SCHOOL OF SCIENCE – HOUSTON SOUTH 101846 OR 101862 (verified owner) –

    Overall, this is the best 6-Hour GT Refresher I’ve ever had! It’s one of the best training sessions on any topic I’ve ever had. I learned so much new information, especially the current understanding dispelling theories about learning styles, multiple intelligences, and left-brain/right-brain thinking. I also like that much of what I learned in this training is helpful for all of my student populations, not only gifted students.
