  1. April – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    It’s long but very helpful to use in the classroom not only is it a great resource for teachers but it will help us better our students.

  2. Juliana – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    I think this course provided valuable information on understanding the mindset of gifted children and how to help them in our classrooms.

  3. Robin – NEDERLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    I think it is very important that teachers understand the brain and its role in learning. This helps us teach because we realize what we are teaching is a brain not a person. The brain is going to work the way it was designed.

    Engaging and insightful!

  8. Tobbie – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

    At first I did not want to take this course, but now I am glad that I did. It has added more tools to my tool box for me to use with my GT kids. I think I have just about every type of GT child in my room and this course has helped me out in a pinch.

  9. Eduardo – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –
