  1. Will – EASTERN LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    There was nothing special about this course, and that is exactly what makes it one of the best I’ve had to complete. I have taken many required courses that try to innovate and make the course fun and exciting with all sorts of interactive nonsense that nobody wants. After taking this course, I felt that I have gained knowledge, and I felt that my time was respected.

  2. Alexander – YOUNGSTOWN CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

    The content was informative and helped deepen my understanding of gifted learners, especially in areas such as overexcitabilities, underachievement, and the importance of recognizing diverse expressions of giftedness.

  3. Antoinette – YOUNGSTOWN CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

    It was long! Make sure you have the time set aside to complete it

  4. Allison – ST MARYS CITY (verified owner) –

    It was great!

  5. Maria – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    Great!

  6. Stephanie – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    lots of information

  7. Pamela – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved learning about the different types of students and how they react to school. Just because they are gifted does not mean they are always the perfect student and that we should expect them to achieve all the time.

  8. Erica – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative and interesting.

  9. Cruz – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    that this course is understandable and every good course to look at

  10. Steven – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    A lot of good information. But it does follow a standard lecture model which can be inefficient for conveying information.

  11. Alex – Middletown City (verified owner) –

    Great course…opens your eyes about the multiplicity of our term “gifted.”

  12. Claudia – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was clear, helpful, and provided practical strategies for working with gifted learners.

  13. Kassandra – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    There was a lot of insight in identifying gifted children. I learned a lot of information that was eye opening.
