  1. Carolyn – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a helpful course in explaining some of the learning disabilities I have encountered in students but was not fully familiar with.

  2. Sylvia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    It was interesting to learn about the many different exceptional behaviors and the many characteristics that they come with. The tips for managing these behaviors were great! They can be applied to many different types of personalities in students.

  3. Ramiro – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    simple suggestions lead to big positive difference

  4. Kristi – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    I love how this focuses on different kids of giftedness. We are quick to find labels sometimes (GT, AP, Sped, lazy, etc.), but we forget that these can sometimes overlap and that we should be finding the true “giftedness” of every child.
