It was long and only somewhat helpful in identifying gifted students. The theories/reports/history did not seem very useful for us to learn.
Haley – RIESEL ISD (verified owner) –
This course was beneficial at remembering to look and observe the whole child and not just one piece.

This was another exceptional training by Lisa Van Gemert. She, again, provides us with fundamental knowledge, access to resources, information on research, and she is overflowing with enthusiasm about her subject which will make you love being part of the training. This is true whether you have the opportunity to see her in person or take it online!
Courtney – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –
I really like the biases that were addressed in this course. It is often overlooked and it is hard to help marginalized students break the cycle without being aware of what that cycle looks like.

There was a ton of great information that all educators should be trained on. I am certified in SPED and found this information to be priceless. We all have our own thoughts about what “gifted” is until you finish the 30 hour training!

I think the resources, brain breaks, knowledge she shared has been the most useful thing I’ve learned for my GT students (especially being a first year teacher since not many understand GT here as well as Lisa does as she has studied, learned, and taught).
Kayley – RIESEL ISD (verified owner) –

Benancio – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
Stop referring to Native Americans and Indians. As a Navajo I find this highly offensive. It was said in regards “Ten Little Indians” comment about the piano and at one other point in this lesson. I cannot express this enough. Indians are from India. Native Americans were here before you all were.
