I really liked this course. I was very helpful in coming up with ways to get students creative juices flowing. A lot of activities are geared toward the younger students, but can still be adapted for older students.

I wish this PD was given to every teacher in my district. I received so many activities and take-aways from June. I feel more empowered after listening and cannot wait to build upon what she presented to alter my classroom and students to be more successful.

Dr. Juntune is very knowledgable about the Gifted student. I think that is what it takes for teachers to truly understand the Gifted student. She has been through it and I consider her an expert. I wish I could see her in person.

The only problem is that it teaches in a style that is for average or high achievers and leaves teachers who grew up as “gifted” learners to sit through something they struggle with.
