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.

    Great information!

  2. Teresita – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very helpful 🙂

  3. Bruce – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed the information on low achieving students and lower income students. I feel that the lower income situation could be a big part of education over the course of the next few years, as we come out of our current situation and jobs are lost.

  4. Peter – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    It is good to consider and help students who are high achieving in low income societies.

  5. Nora – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Very informative

  6. Melinda – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    great

  7. Adriana – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    I did not like this training as much as others. I did like the added You tube videos embedded in the training.

  8. Ilene – SAN DIEGO ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a great topic! I would of loved to have heard more about evidence based practices of change with high achieving low-income students.

  9. David Natividad – FABENS ISD (verified owner) –

    It was great, very useful information regarding GT students.

  10. Susan – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course struggled to keep my attention and the visual recording of it was not good. It showed the top of a person’s head most of the time only.
