  2. Shanna – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked it because it gave me some great ideas on how to use the books I have in my classroom and turn them into a cool gt lesson and for the students to make there own projects.

  3. Melanie – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved that they gave us the titles of the books and what they focused on.

  4. Angel – LA FERIA ISD (verified owner) –

    This training will be good for elementary level. However, if you are at high school level, you could use some aspects of the training; but for the most part it will be hard to stretch.

  5. Valerie – RIDGEDALE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This was a great course for early childhood teachers. Lots of literature and activity examples that you can actually use with all students.

  6. Mary – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Great examples of different children’s literature and how they can be used to engage our students.

    I enjoyed the examples that this course provided. Seeing those examples also gave me ideas on how to adapt some of the stories I already use in my classroom to better address the needs of gifted learners to think outside the box and between the lines.
