Marc – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –
Great course. It even helped me better understand myself when I was a gifted child feeling frustrated and misunderstood
Mark – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
I thought there were some good ideas, but there was a great deal of padding, as well. This could have easily been a 3-hour course, rather than a 6-hour course.
Sarah – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –
It was very informative – clarified a few misconceptions
Lisa – WACO ISD (verified owner) –
Learned various strategies for GT learners. Also, how they process their work.

This course was very informing and made me really think. I also like that it is online so I can go at my own pace and break it up instead of sitting all day listening to it and forgetting half of the information.
