Tami – Coshocton City Schools (verified owner) – February 3, 2022

I am new to gifted education, and truly, a bit overwhelmed. This PD offered ideas, strategies, and practices that felt “bite-sized” and manageable. It was practical and dealt with real classroom issues. I took many notes to refer to as I attempt to improve my own teaching practice and hopefully become a an advocate for greater excellence for both my students and for me.
