  8. Crystal – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    I really like how this training opened my eyes to the students that are “hidden under achievers” because there is a HUGE misconception that all GT students are smart and over achievers. I was appreciative of the strategies that were given and the analogies to help us guide our students in the classroom setting and in life in general. This was very informative, and I feel that I took a lot from this course. I am thrilled to apply what I have gained from this training to my classroom to help create brighter futures by building responsible, accountable, goal oriented, and fearless students.
