  5. Molly – HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Great course to understand gifted student and ADHD students and the similarities.

  6. Caitlin – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    It did have some good information. It was a little hard to pay attention to.

  7. Aarin – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I never realized how many common traits were shared between ADHD students and gifted students. I have often found myself using strategies that I would use for ADHD students on all students with a distracted nature, or a high intensity. I will definitely be reevaluating my strategies and expanding them based on the information in this course.

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

    This gave me a new perspective on the behaviors of gifted students, but not really instructional practices on what to do with those students.

  9. Brian – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    I really liked the stories.

  10. Cheryl – RIDGEDALE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Good course
