What I found most interesting is the history of G&T and how it has changed. I am concerned that the current model of classroom inclusion for all types of students means that G&T may remain an under-served population.

This course could be summarized in a PDF. The video could be eliminated and the visuals added to the PDF. Having this course in this format did not help me. The Notes section is too small as well.
The info in this course is relevant! And good! But its presentation is drawn out and not suited for my needs. If you’re a logical, straightforward, get-it-done “how can I use this” person, this course is so tedious!
