This differentiation needs to keep going deeper for students who are GT.

I really liked the graphic organizers and specific examples of how they could be used. However, being locked into an auditory style of learning did not work for me. I found it ironic that a training that is emphasizing the importance of differentiation and meeting diverse needs would lock the participants into listening to the training. I am not an auditory learner, and I would have really appreciated a text version of the training that I could have read.
