This is a great course because it helps understand the characteristics between the introvert and extravert. It explains that they are hardworking, simply thinking, lack communication skills, and not shy even though some are very shy.

The distinction between extroverts and introverts is very valuable to gifted education and helping enhance learning. The most neglected population in education is the gifted girl-I believe that that is because they are introverted!

thoughtfully presented
Adam – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –
Professionally and personally I really enjoyed this class because it was able to put into words what I feel about being an Introvert. This course made me more comfortable being an Introvert and helped me identify ways to celebrate the Introverts that I have in my classes and be more aware of offering them ways to express themselves without being drowned out their extrovert peers.

Sarah – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –

Christine – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –
I think there’s a lot of good insight into recognizing the characteristics of an introvert and how to help those student feel less overwhelmed in the classroom
Amanda – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –
I highly enjoyed this course because it really made me see my own son in a new way. Thinking about his introverted tendencies helps me try to view students in my classroom in a new way. I think collaboration is something this is pushed upon us right now in education, but it is OK and necessary for some students to work by themselves. This course makes this important statement and helps us to honor all kinds of students in our classroom.

Patricia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
Interesting!!!
Ronald – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –
I really liked this presentation. I have the same bias that most have, introverts are unhappy little people who need our intervention to fix them. I was thinking about one student in particular during this and realizing that I need to change my approach to them.
