I think this breaks down a lot of details of how gifted programs work, how a student might be considered GT, and how a state or set of stakeholders identify and serve those students.
Justin – FABENS ISD (verified owner) –
An immensely helpful overview seminar about GT definitions and procedures. I wish I had taken this 3-hour course at the beginning of these GT classes, but as it was at the end of the list, I got to it near the end because I was moving linearly.
