Great information
Maria – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
It made a lot of sense in which, most teachers make the mistake of thinking just because they are identified GT they should know everything and learn the same way. This is another course I feel beginning teachers should be presented so that they really get to know their students and take everything into consideration when trying to find out why that student is not doing what he should.
