It was simple and easy to understand but it provided good information to use with gifted students.
Paula – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
I liked the presenters because they were “real” with the audience. They do not expect perfection from their students because they are not perfect either.
Amanda – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
This was very helpful in giving me ideas to help my GT learners.

Real classroom examples bring life to these concepts. Student lead classrooms with critical thinking.

very informative
ALEJANDRO – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
Very good course, particularly the Literature Circles.
Delise – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –
I liked the use of the reading circles, in addition to the word limit on the summaries. I also liked how they chose to allow the students to do the power points on books read.

It gave good suggestions for ideas that would work for GT students in the regular classroom.

This course is very informative and provides strategies to ensure all students are engaged in learning and critical thinking.
Lilia – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –
I love this presentation. It gave me great ideas on how to differentiate and use depth & complexity. I teach Math so I particularly love the non-traditional problem solving strategy where GT students write or paste the word problems on the left side of their Math notebook and write how they solved it instead of writing the answer.
