I am a teacher, not a counselor or administrator, and formally a retired college professor, that accidently enrolled in for this session, but this presentation, for me, summarized, and wrapped up, the entire 30 hour seminar that I was required to take to be able to teach GT students. The presentation was a great overview/wrap-up of what GT teachers need should have learned from the other presentations in this series about the opportunity we have to impact the lives of great GT kids.
