    Very informative about gifted students and grouping in the school setting. It goes beyond just gifted students. This course can be helpful to learn about different types of grouping.

  9. Carisa – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I feel like this training is great but most effective with older students that are more independent. I feel as if this is in a perfect world, and also a little bit unrealistic. To create a separate fun and engaging activity for each individual student would be extremely time consuming. And so many different types of grouping could create a sense of inconsistency which is important for first graders. I love a lot of her ideas and would implement as realistic in my classroom.

  10. Martha – GIDDINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    It was beneficial.
