  1. Jodi – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I really appreciate how the presenter not only created a solid foundation on what a whole-child view is for a Gifted student, but also provided lots of data and research to support the thought. It really makes you take a step back and think about how it relates to yourself and how you navigate your experiences as an adult, a mentor, and a parent.
