excellent information
Michael – WEATHERFORD ISD (verified owner) –
6 hours of what testing looks like is not a valuable use of my time… what I should be learning is how to identify potential gifted students that have not previously been identified & how to address their needs.

Great resource.
Sandra – FORT STOCKTON ISD (verified owner) –
Very useful information.
Charlie – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
The handouts we are asked to print out for use do not follow along with the presenter. When told to go to a certain page of the notes… it is not what she is talking about.
Humor is useful, if appropriate. Distasteful humor has rarely helped.
