    8. Robert – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –

      Perusing the title, I chose this training to enhance my GT strategies, and to be frank, this was a pleasant surprise. I know I picked up three good ideas that I can use in all of my classes, GT kids or not.

      (Having them read City on a Hill as a summer reading is what I’ll suggest to the Department.)

    9. Melissa – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

      Great!

    10. Michelle – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –
