  18. Katie – Private Pay (verified owner)

    I was skeptical of taking an online course for gifted learning because it seemed like it would be something where I would need to discuss with my peers. Instead, I was able to take the ideas back to my co-workers, share my knowledge by introducing an activity to them, and discuss how it worked with our students. It was more beneficial than many face to face courses because I could take it over time and review it as much as possible.
