Informative

There was a lot of great information that I did not know in the course; however, the first presenter was difficult to follow because she kept stumbling on her words. I had a really hard time, but the second presenter was much easier to follow and seemed like she knew her information better than the first.

This course helped me to better understand all the options for gifted testing within Ohio, what the cutoff scores are, and how to better utilize information contained within a student’s permanent file to determine possible services he/she may qualify for.

It was informational but when you are taking 12+ hours it was a little dry.
