Great course- a lot of good information needed to differentiate students in the classroom and how to meet the needs of all.

I thought it was good. Some of the examples seemed a little too high level for elementary students, but I think I could still make them work. I would actually like a couple more examples of each activity.

Being able to understand the difference between an average students and GT one, is allowing them to have a difference of opportunities for them to become more successful.

I don’t feel like I really learned much, and the course was much longer than it needed to be.
