Carrie – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) – February 17, 2023

The modules were interesting in terms of identifying behaviors that may indicate giftedness (the overexcitabilities) and how asynchronous development affects the gifted child in the classroom. I also liked the discussion about Dr. Rimm’s work on the different types of underachievers. I just felt like a sponge of information; however, rather than thinking about the material in my own classroom.
