I loved Lisa! She is an expert on the needs of the gifted and she is funny! Also what I liked are the games and resources we can use in the classroom. She gets at this topic from all angles. From the teacher’s point of view and the parent’s point of view.

Michelle – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –
Again, great course–but again, the same concern as previously mentioned. It does not make sense to say that the cultural imbalance of G/T identified students is more due to class than race, but also say that white, lower-class children are identified at a higher rate than black, lower-class children. Race and class are both responsible for the bias. Shying away from the fact because it’s “uncomfortable” is not going to help in creating ideal classrooms, etc.
