It’s helpful when developing students level of intelligence using abstractions.
NOTE: The volume of the speaker varies throughout the course making it difficult to hear.

The presenter was very pleasant to listen to.

I was so put off by her statements that people with low intelligence were more likely to be poor, to have babies out of wedlock, and to go to jail that I had to step away from the computer for a few hours. It’s like this lady never heard of institutional racism, but no, that can’t be right because she assured us that “bias is just statistics” and you can’t just look at something and say it’s biased. I don’t think this was very useful AT ALL. All I took away from it that I will incorporate is teaching number theory/multiplication by asking my daughter to help me stack cookies.

I found this was a fantastic overview of the content. I appreciated that I could complete it so quickly, and I feel like I learned a lot that I can apply in my classroom.
Melanie – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –
I found this video to be interesting and informative. I can picture several of my students as having great fluid intelligence and that they have never really developed crystallized intelligence. It also causes classroom management issues. So, now I am empowered to approach these students in a different light.

Thought provoking even though I didn’t agree with some of the comments.
Judy – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –
It was very detailed.
