It opened my eyes to who the gifted and talented are and how they are defined and tested.
Laurel – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
Really unbalanced I think that there could have been far more discussion of what to look fro in teh classroom and less about IQ scores. While it is important to address there was a lot of time spent on biases (racial in particular) that could have been spent intertwined at the least with what to look for. Also may of the resources that she suggested were out dated or involved spending my money in this ecconomy? needs to be updated.
