Very helpful

I enjoyed some of the suggestions; however, I feel like his presentation was cut and pasted together and that the activities that he does do were left out. It was more information than suggestions.

Great course
Josefina – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

Anna – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed this course. It was very insightful and humorous. He seems GT himself. I loved the list, which is true, he made of the things that annoy GT students. Some of these I have seen in my classroom and try to avoid. Schools and administrators/coordinators should see this course so they understand that some things won’t function well in the classroom when it comes to the diversity of each child and their intellectual abilities.

This course provides several strategies in which students develop a sense of responsibility of their own learning. Also provide strategies to create a sense of respect for nature. The information given about hos music affects the leaning process is interesting and useful.
