“This website is my sub plans.” ~ a teacher describing Byrdseed.TV

“There is literally only one of me.”

You’re in charge of the gifted program. No one left you a manual.

Byrdseed takes one big job off of your desk. We provide actually interesting lessons that get your most advanced students thinking. They’re videos, so teachers press play and then facilitate. They don’t need to be curriculum designers. And neither do you!

As soon as I played the first video, one of my students called out,“OH! I love this guy!!”

Every teacher shouldn’t have to invent their own gifted program.

Your teachers were handed gifted kids and little support. They’re stretched thin. Each one is piecing it together from all sorts of sources. Byrdseed frees teachers up to, you know, teach.

Byrdseed.TV is used in 1,700 school districts.

Will my teachers use it?

You’ve bought things before that didn’t make it in front of students. Here’s what teachers say after using Byrdseed.

“This was the best money I ever spent on a teaching tool!”

“I love Byrdseed.TV. It is a lifesaver.”

“I love Byrdseed.TV! I use it as a resource and inspiration source. Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge.”

“Love, love, love Byrdseed.TV... I used many ideas and lessons this year. The kids loved the lessons and were engaged!”

“Byrdseed.TV has always been amazing but during the last year, you have been elevated to SUPERAMAZINGFANTASTIC status. You have saved my students from super boring lessons.”

“I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed.TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they’ve already mastered.”

“I LOVE these videos. It’s like having two teachers in my classroom.”

“I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of a scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way ( that, by the way, is a compliment).”

“I am the coordinator of our district gifted program. Byrdseed.TV is one of my favorite sites and one of the best investments I have made for the program.”

Hi, I’m Ian Byrd.

I taught gifted students in Southern California and spoke at 211 gifted education events.

For 15 years, I’ve been building student-ready lessons on Byrdseed.TV.

Too many gifted students coast through school until 11th grade, when it finally gets hard and they have an identity crisis.

Byrdseed gives teachers ability-appropriate lessons today.
