The course did not model how to implement the suggestions with students.

Halfway through I began to feel a little distracted, but honestly she brought up some good points to think about and at the end — finally some things to think about for delaing with boredom.
Cassie – HALLETTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
It was a great course, however the test itself was very flawed. I would answer the correct answer multiple times for it to tell me it was wrong, then to finally tell I was correct. Very frustrating.

Christy – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

I feel the course could have given more examples of keeping the students not bored in the classroom. But it did explain boredom in debt.
Victoria – FORT STOCKTON ISD (verified owner) –
It might be more important than you think try to understand why our students feel so bored now a days. You should really consider taking this course.

Very applicable course for teachers of Gifted and Talented students, but I would also argue that it is beneficial for all teachers and parents in order to find strategies to “manage” boredom, especially when necessary tasks must be completed.
