    the relationships with students to figure out why they are doing the things they do, go a long way

    This course is really helpful to identifying gifted students and the reasons of low motivation.

    I loved the content of this course, but it is based on perfect world. With 30+ students in every class, I don’t see the practices taught being implemented effectively.

    Dr. Webb had a lot of good points he explained and gave examples of and also gave a lot of references (books, etc.)
