  1. Jessica – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    It is a very informative training that helps teachers understand how to work with these types of students.

  2. Lauren – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    I think this is a great course to understand the difference between introverts and extroverts with a specific emphasis on introverts. However, it didn’t seem to address gifted students outside of students in general. That is the only reason for a 4 star rating rather than 5.

  3. Heaven – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course should be taken by every extrovert teacher and administrator. I think that our education system serves the extroverted student while ignoring or even harming the introverted student a lot of times by not respecting their need for less stimulation and a need for think time before talk time.

  4. LISA – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very interesting information about introverts and extroverts.
