I thought that this specific course had a good set of strategies that I can use in my classroom with students, but it was sometimes difficult to follow which grade level she may have been talking about.

There are several very important points that are made in this presentation that are critical to the placing, reviewing, and supporting of students that are gifted. First and foremost, it is critical that we have processes to identify gifted students from various groups and backgrounds to that they can be quickly identified and supported.
