    great course

  7. Teri – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This presentation was very helpful and insightful when working with kids who are capable but are not showing their actual abilities. Some of the things I especially liked are the way of looking at the brain as spaghetti, the quote of “en-courage” is to put courage into, and the job names for a group.

    This course is insightful to things that, as a Teacher, we may not realize with our gifted students.
