  7. Ronald – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

    After watching the last few GT training sessions with so much emphasis on differentiation in your lesson plans, it was a surprise to sit through a lecture. The research that Dr. Troxlar shared was very concise and abreviated, but gave some good bacakground information about who are GT students.
