This is my second time I took this very long course all because I let it lapse. And nothing has changed. It makes no sense that it would be exactly the same. Several years have passed so much has changed but here I am seeing the exact same thing. I truthfully think this training is outdated and a waste of time.

I found this module interesting. It is important to understand that multiple instruments must be used to identify GT students.

I really learned a lot from this course. It’s easy to lose sight of people who may be gifted but “hide” behind insufficient social skills or language difficulties.
