    This three-part series was a very rich in new strategies and ways to foster and build creative thinking in all students, but there is a lot that allows for gifted students to engage in enrichment activities to grow their curiosity and creativity.

  8. Sherri – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    There were many effective teaching tools laid out for the teachers to use. I like the way they were demonstrated and how the directions were not only told but written for the teachers to see as well. I like the way the underlying goal was to build creativity and flexible thinking in the the learners.
