  1. Beth – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) –

    Very dense

  2. Julie – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    great insight on intelligence and how the brain works and develop with connections

  3. Maria Elena – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    This course provided me with some information that I wasn’t aware of. I learned a lot from it.

  4. Bridget – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    This course bothered me a bit in that it makes the gap in education seem a bit hopeless at the high school level (where I teach). If genetics, environment, nutrition and developing connections at a young age are key to changing the educational divide, I don’t know that my lower socioeconomic students of color will ever catch up.

  5. Kevin – WESTFALL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Great!

  6. Miriam – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    It’s a good one to learn more about intelligence.

  7. Noeme – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative especially for me as a teacher of GT /honors students. How to challenge the students to develop abstract teachings and connections to real life.

  8. Gwendolyn – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent course

  9. Tarena – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    The course gave great background into intelligence.

  10. Kendra – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was an eye opener for me. I did not realize that I was missing some really important details while teaching my students.
