This training really gets you to think deeper about how you design your lessons. However, each one of these courses takes a very long time… I wish it was broke up a little better seeing as we teachers cannot devote this much time all at once. We need to feel like we are accomplishing something rather than having to take it bit by bit and feeling like the end is no where in sight.

I learned a lot about gifted students from the course. Being a first year teacher I am still learning more and more every day and this course helped clear up how gifted students are chosen/recognized.
