  1. Aaron – CIRCLEVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    Very good course to help better understand how to teach gifted students.

  2. Randy – CIRCLEVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    This has great resources to accomidate gifted students

  3. Becky – Centerburg Local (verified owner) –

    There was a lot of in-depth content covered in this course. The depth of the questioning for the quizzes was a bit extreme, however, and led me to second guess, and even triple-guess, my thoughts to the point of confusion. Perhaps more extended response questions would have been more valuable.

  4. Jill – 588 Co-op (verified owner) –

    It applies more to Middle/High School age students.

  5. Matthew – CIRCLEVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    Great for elementary folks, harder to to apply to High school courses.

  6. Nora – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was well structured and paced. The example and nonexamples helped clear any misconceptions I had.

  7. Tracy – RIPLEY-UNION-LEWIS-HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –
