  1. Francisco – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –

    Its good. Just too long.

  2. Arjon – PRESIDIO ISD (verified owner) –

    good job

  3. Kayla – MANOR ISD (verified owner) –

    I really liked this course because it gave us ideas and insights of what to look for when identifying GT students. I also liked that it talked about GT students who also have disabilities. Just because you are labeled with a disability, doesn’t mean you can’t be GT and I liked that she talked about that.

  4. Pasha – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very helpful and I have learned alot.
