I thought this was a very good training, definitely specifically for elementary, but as a 6th grade ELA teacher, i found a lot of it very useful. I like how it had several different presenters and it moved at a good pace.

This is one of my favorite courses. I can feel the presenters’ enthusiasm for teaching TAG students; I can’t wait to read the books they’ve recommended and utilize the methods with my students.
