I enjoyed the speaker, she was easy to listen to and gave very good, clear examples. I liked the resources and downloads that were made available. I like to have the option to read the dictated notes along with the presentation.
Jessica – GEORGETOWN ISD (verified owner) –
I felt like this presentation is outdated and needs to be redone, there were some problematic statements made about kids in poverty that may not be accurate. The course completely ignored ethnicity and systemic racism in gifted students experiences.
