    I have a much better understanding of my own child because of this course! I learned more about how to work with gifted students in this one course than in 14 years of working with our previous gifted coordinator!

  6. Kelly – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –

    There is a lof of information in the presentation about different gifted characteristics. I have been teaching for the past 11 years and still I have not experienced all of the types of gifted students. This course really helped understand a little more about behaviors and characteristics of different categories of gifted students.

    It was very long and would like a more interactive module.
