  1. Courtney – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked hearing this part of GT. I feel it is something that often takes backseat to others and I like how in depth she went, even going over parts of the brain.

  2. Megan – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was decent and had good information, but it really bugged me when typical learners were referred to as stupid.

  3. Janet – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    I learned so much from this course. I definitely will recommend it. I wish I could share this video with my daughter who is homeschooling my gifted grandchildren, from whom I could see those gifted traits.

  4. Renee – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    great class

  5. Jordyn – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    It felt like it went faster than some of the other ones. It was less slow feeling.

  6. Jerry – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I think that this was a great course to help one teach gifted students in a more effective way. It also helped me see some things about my own self.

  7. Jasmine – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    So informative and gave me information that was deeper into the topic so that I’ll keep in mind with the children in my classroom.

  8. Joan – NORTH ZULCH ISD (verified owner) –

    Lisa is interesting to listen to and she gives great reasons for “why”. I have enjoyed several “A-ha” moments as well as been surprised at a few theories that no longer seem valid.

  9. Perla – CANUTILLO ISD (verified owner) –

    I truly enjoyed this course. Lisa is very engaging, and she provides plenty of resources related to Gifted children.

  10. Shelby – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was very useful and informational.
