There are several very important points that are made in this presentation that are critical to the placing, reviewing, and supporting of students that are gifted. First and foremost, it is critical that we have processes to identify gifted students from various groups and backgrounds to that they can be quickly identified and supported.

I did not like that the subtitles were in the form of a written script. The plat form was also glitchy and I would need to refresh the page a lot.
The topics were interesting but the stories were a little long some times. Would probably be better inperson.
