This is a course that takes some concepts that are familiar to educators and applies them specifically to this group of learners (underachieving gifted students), when often these concepts are more focused on the general population or identified special education students. The presenter is clearly experienced and able to draw upon specific examples from her own practice to illustrate her points.
