I found a lot of the strategies very useful, and adaptable to my content area and age group. I also enjoyed learning more about the right and left brain characteristics. Now I know why I found math so hard at school!

JENNIFER – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This course has a lot of great activity ideas, but I don’t find the format of the presentation (remote) effective. If a school (or presenter) is really serious about teachers actually learning some effective “hands-on” (ie: some of the teachers taking this course ARE “GT”) strategies, then this course should be available for in-person learning as a paid PD.
