  7. Mitzi – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I like how the T in GT was labeled as Thriving rather than Talented. He did a great job explaining how to make that happen.

  8. Leah – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I’ve taken a couple GT courses before, but this was by far the best. The idea of looking at the whole child instead of academic success is a crucial idea for the development of our gifted students.

  9. Orlando – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    interesting

  10. ELVA – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent!
