Evelyn – UNITED ISD (verified owner) – April 28, 2020

very interesting yet reality is this is hard to actually do in a school. With schools ran by budgets, hiring the correct teachers for these students to have their own setting is not realistic per say

Oscar – NEW BRAUNFELS ISD (verified owner) – April 30, 2020

The course offers an in-depth look at the guidelines surrounding the Gifted and Talented Program. However, it is a bit lengthy, and the accompanying resources do not accurately reflect what was present. This makes it difficult to go back and review.
