I believe I learned some from this course, but it was much longer than needed.

This training gives you a lot of information to use in the classroom on a daily basis. I have the ECSE children and I thought this training would not be for me. I am surprised how I might be able to identify from an early age gifted and talented students.

This PD session was very informative. I thought I was well informed when it came to my knowledge of the gifted student, but this training was rather eyeopening. I would recommend my colleagues to take the time to interact with the session as reminders and new information is needed to keep up with the demands of a classroom.

I think it was very straight forward. I wish there was more reflective questions more often.
