    It was a great course that gave you relevant resources to use instantly in your classroom for TAG students.

  2. Elise – NORDONIA HILLS CITY (verified owner) –

    Some information is a little dated. Examples of texts used in the classroom are older texts and not diverse.

  3. Amy – CLEBURNE ISD (verified owner) –

    great ideas

  4. Cindy – NEDERLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was thought provoking and is making me rethink how I challenge my own TAG students.

  5. Frankie – HUGHES SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    Very good

  6. Lisa – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    I did enjoy the non-standard problem solving piece because I am a math teacher but the literature circles was not really applicable to me so it was kind of a waste of time (although the information was of value for ELAR teachers).

  7. Bridget – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

    Informative. Excellent book study ideas.

  8. Maria – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Informative

  9. Angela – GOOSE CREEK CISD (verified owner) –

    Lots of good ideas to use with GT students.

  10. Kelli – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very helpful to learn some ways to engage GT students, but it focused mainly on elementary students.
