Great presentation

I highly enjoyed this course because it really made me see my own son in a new way. Thinking about his introverted tendencies helps me try to view students in my classroom in a new way. I think collaboration is something this is pushed upon us right now in education, but it is OK and necessary for some students to work by themselves. This course makes this important statement and helps us to honor all kinds of students in our classroom.

Professionally and personally I really enjoyed this class because it was able to put into words what I feel about being an Introvert. This course made me more comfortable being an Introvert and helped me identify ways to celebrate the Introverts that I have in my classes and be more aware of offering them ways to express themselves without being drowned out their extrovert peers.

The distinction between extroverts and introverts is very valuable to gifted education and helping enhance learning. The most neglected population in education is the gifted girl-I believe that that is because they are introverted!
