  1. Amy – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    The first 2/3 of the course wasn’t very interesting to me. The last 1/3 was much more applicable.

  2. Emma – LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE CISD (verified owner) –

    They made some really good points and I found some good strategies to use in the future.

  3. Maria – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Enjoyed every minute. Would have loved a longer session on these topics by these presenters.

  4. Kaleigh – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

    Very enjoyable course. I really appreciated how practical the strategies were and the emphasis on examining emotions.

  5. Heidi – SILSBEE ISD (verified owner) –

    I understand and appreciate that this is geared to gifted students but this highly relates to Special Needs students. Even though sped students have disabilities they still struggle with these concepts. This would be great for SPED teachers to see.

    This course gives concrete ideas for teaching tenacity.

  7. Ashleigh – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
