"This course was fantastic as Ron Thomas was an interesting and engaging presenter and the course was aimed at practical resources which made it extremely relevant and applicable. The quality was high as the suggested activities were inspiring and germane. I would recommend this course to any teacher who would like to extend the brightest students in their classes. The course completely fulfilled expectations and its description. "

"This course encouraged me to think well beyond what I have in regards to encouraging gifted students. To have someone with such specific expertise delivering this course really helped me consider how I can insert these practical tasks in my own classroom."

"This course provides information on online tools, strategies and activities that can be implemented in the classroom to cater for high potential and gifted students. I will be implementing some of these strategies into the classroom at the start of this year."
