What are people saying about Academity?
“Meredith's online courses truly saved our GT training during an unprecedented time. The courses were engaging, thoughtful, and packed with need-to-know information about gifted students and how to meet their varied needs. I received many requests from district employees to offer these types of courses in the future. Everyone enjoyed the content and the ability to self-pace. Overall, it was very successful training for many teachers in my district. I'm so thankful to Meredith for her insight and hard work!”

Read MoreGiven that most GT trainings are a rehashing of the GT student identities and why they are gifted learners that need more from their lessons than other students, this was a useful training. It went beyond the usual stuff and provided planning tips to make differentiation more doable and approachable. Usually, teachers get slapped in the face with this idea that we need to "do more." This is the first GT course where we were told we just need to approach planning from the top down instead of planning for the average kid first and then trying to amp up those plans to differentiate for GT kids. Essentially, this course was helpful instead of the usual, repetitive GT update.

I've always liked going above and beyond what's expected, being different, and not sticking to the curriculum like a drone, so I'm doing something right (according to this presentation haha).
