    It was interesting. It got me thinking about teaching students differently.

  3. Angelica – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    This training really hits the mark when it comes to what intelligence is and how it can be developed. Intelligence is a product of genetics and environment. Tips on how to develop intelligence are provided.

  4. Gregg – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought the information provided was relevant to teaching gifted students. There was a lot of emphasis on leading thinkers in the field, maybe a little too much reliance on the importance of IQ scores.
