Each year, thousands of gifted students go undiscovered in our classrooms. Without accurate identification, many of these students will never reach their full potential or benefit from the great resources available in our gifted programs. As teachers and educators in gifted education, one of our top priorities should be the screening, assessment, and identification of our gifted students.

Irfan – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) – June 29, 2020

This part of the GT training for teachers is well planned and adequately captures the real time scenario and deficiencies about GT among teachers. Language barriers among ESL and poverty segment was very important so that no one of potential is left behing.
