This course gave me some new ideas for how to make learning for my GT students more meaningful and how to motivate them to join in on the learning.
I wish there was a bit more on the social and emotional piece in terms of how GT students relate to adults and peers.

This has been one of the best professional developments I have ever taken. It shows wonderful insight, and gives good explanations of what differentiation is and what it looks like between our Gifted and General Population students.
