With so much effort and attention placed on raising low performing students, researchers are finding that G/T students in the classroom are often stagnating in their achievement. While this group of learners are being left behind, low-income gifted students are falling even further behind their higher-income classmates. Good program design can address all of these achievement gaps, including the unique needs of low-income students.

This course was fine but took much longer than an hour to complete because the the countless video interludes. The time is fine, but we should receive more than one hour of PD.
