Sarah Wiseman provides an engaging, fast paced look at psychomotor excitabilities. She touches the heart and mind in such way that we can identify our PE students, empathize with them, and coach them to academic and social success.

This course is very insightful about students that teachers likely have or will have in their classrooms.
Emily – BOWLING GREEN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This course was great. So often we misdiagnose our gifted psychomotor overexcitable students as ADHD, when instead we need to find them ways to support them in the classroom. All teachers should have to take this.

Good information if you haven’t heard it. However, most of these ideas are pretty common in dealing with hyperactive students. I don’t feel like I learned any new information.

Very helpful and eye-opening. Really makes you think about those kids with lots of energy and whether or not they have a disorder such as ADHD or if they are just overexcited.

This was a great course that introduced overexcitability to me.
