I think it was good if you are an elementary or middle school teacher. There weren’t many examples for math, especially high school math.

This course was very informative, I have learned so much about how to identify gifted students, develop their creative thinking, differentiate instruction for them, and aspects about their asynchronous development.

I do not usually rate anything perfect, but this was very good. Thank you for all you do for gifted students and the teachers. I have not yet had any preAP or gifted classes. This was a big help to prepare me for that added blessing and responsibility next year.
