    A lot of great helpful information to become great educators.

  4. Sarah – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    I love how she broke down parts of the brain and how it functions. Then goes into explaining big ideas and strategies of the gifted and how they effect their thought process as well as their emotional and social aspects.

  8. Erik – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved it. I was reluctant in February trying to teach in COVID times and doing this, but I’ve truly loved everything. Waiting till the end of my first year was also beneficial because I have experience to reflect on. This is such a beneficial course and it gave me a much deeper understanding of what GT is and how to facilitate my teaching in the classroom. Lisa is so knowledgeable and is truly someone who I would love to learn more from.

  9. Raul – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
