Dr. Juntune is one of my favorite presenters for Gifted and Talented courses. She really knows the workings of our gifted population and has some great insight on how to teach them.

I really enjoyed learning about the different things to look for in my students. This course showed me there isn’t an exact model that gifted students fit into. It also made me realize to stop and take a look at students who don’t scream gifted because of outliers. This course provide a variety of tools to use in my classroom.
