I like the jokes thrown in. I don’t like how long I have to listen to someone talk but that’s just cus it’s online.
Thomas – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
The class provides a good insight in the gifted and talent, but the lack of visual clarity in the videos and the time spent on in-class movement distracted from the message. I also believe the module describing the different assessment tools gave the impression that most of them are not useful and subject to a variety of interpretations.

James – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
Instructor uses inappropriate cultural generalizations. She has too many anecdotal stories that are distracting. She pushes her own biases on the audience. If it was up to me, I would do my GT training with another program and another trainer.
