    I learned new things about gifted students and gifted education that I can apply to my job and parenting.

  2. Suzanne – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    This course provided insight on how to recognize gifted, how to serve them, and how to help them progress and be successful.

    Great information! I personally learned a lot from this.

  4. Deedra – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –

    I agree with many things that were mentioned in this presentation. It is disheartening to know that we are doing so many things incorrectly in our district.

  5. Catherine – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –

    I agreed with much of what she said but really struggle because much of what you should do with a gifted student, you should do with all

  6. Wendy – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    A wonderful course.

  7. Jolie – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    I found this course to be very enlightening, insightful, and interesting. However, I am a school counselor and hope to find a GT course in the future that is more specific to how I can support GT students.

  8. Kyra – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –

    It was interesting and very informative.

  9. Tammie – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a very interesting course. I didn’t know the multiple facets of a GT student. I feel I have a better understanding of the GT student and their needs.

  10. David – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –

    This course highlighted the changes needed to service our GT student population.
