Renee Bonilla
I really enjoyed this course! It provided a lot of the neuroscience behind giftedness and made those connections between biology and the behaviors we see in the classroom.

FAQ
-
Do these courses count towards my gifted endorsement?
Each state has its own requirements for endorsement. Some states require the professional development to be anchored in gifted standards and aligned to the National Association for Gifted and Talenteds Teacher Prepardness standards. Our courses have direct NAGC alignment and support many educators in applying these professional development hours to their endorsement transcripts so that they can apply for their gifted certifications with their state departments.
-
How do I get my certificate?
The great thing about our course is that it is completely self-led! That means NO waiting on assignments to be approved. You get to move on. So binge the course in one sitting or pace it out! Once you finish, you will have all of the certificates of courses you have completed all downloadable in one place!
-
Why are the courses priced so low?
Our creator decided to keep everything affordable as a way to remove barriers that teachers face in getting research-based, evidence-backed and practical learning to benefit gifted and talented learners. It was really important to her to make sure teachers (who already have to pinch pennies and pay out the wazoo for their classrooms) can access this learning without breaking the bank.
-
What can one expect with the courses?
Every course has a mixture of readings, videos, discussion posts, assignments, survey's and quizzes that really help a learner truly "get gifted". What does that mean? Essentially, you WILL walk away from these courses feeling confident, excited, and ready to implement something you learned from your course. Not like other PD's where you walk away thinking "okay now how do I apply what I just learned?"
-
I am not a gifted teacher but an administrator. Can I still take these courses?
100%! These courses are geared towards educators, administrators, coaches, and coordinators. We know that serving the gifted and talented community happens at all levels. These courses can count towards professional growth and recertification.
-
Why this website? Why these classes? How do I know it is legit?
We are current gifted practioners! As gifted coordinators and coaches we test, teach, and coach giftedness all day, every day! We experience giftedness in our own lives with our own perspective. We wanted to take what we have learned, what we have taught, and how we have helped make learning and life matter for gifted kids and bring it to others. Learning about giftedness shouldn't be a secret! We figured this would be the easiest way to make a change in a busy world! We have experienced BAD PD, so we know what NOT to do (we will not just talk at you, throw you resources, and then just call it a day). We will teach you the research in a fun and engaging (easy-to-read and understand) way, give you practice, give you resources, and have you practice techniques you would then go use with your gifted. That is how PD SHOULD BE!
