“As an educator, I am always looking to refine my teaching practice. My enrollment in Malone's Gifted Intervention Specialist program has given me practical strategies not only to improve the performance of my gifted learners but also for the students in my classroom on the whole. The online courses have been challenging yet manageable for my full-time teaching schedule and the instructors lead with a wealth of knowledge and are always positive and encouraging. I’ve enjoyed this journey and look forward to the opportunities that this endorsement will provide in my educational career.”
