    It helped see my students and my own children in a different positive way. Great course!

  3. Erin – Springfield City School District (verified owner) –

    For only 1 credit, it is quite a long course.

  4. LORI A – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course for educators who teach any grade level! I currently teach Special Ed. and this was very helpful to me. I highly recommend it!

  5. Catherine – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    I appreciated that the presenter has personal experience with the topic she was speaking on.

  6. Elise – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    The information was good, but it was repetitive and went on and on. Ironically I was identified as gifted and I’m being evaluated for adult ADHD so maybe that’s why I couldn’t concentrate on this module very well. I have been working exclusively with gifted students (many of which also have an ADHD diagnosis as well) so I didn’t learn anything new in this module.

  7. Michele – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Very informative. Thanks

  8. Humberto – RIO GRANDE CITY CISD (verified owner) –

  9. David – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

  10. Sara – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent and informative.
