Great info
Crystal J – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
I liked this course because it helped me look at ways that I can identify students who might be GT but have not been identified yet.
Selena – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –
I felt this course was packed with incredible information that teachers may not have received otherwise while enrolled in a traditional educator prep program. It is just as important to advocate for gifted services for students who come from poverty as it is to help those students who struggle to meet satisfactory work in class.
