Description
During this 1-hour course, Dr. Juntune shares the findings of research started at Texas A&M University and the interventions being implemented in El Paso ISD to change the way we view and serve gifted students from poverty.
In this course you will learn three steps to improving success rates for low SES:
- Mind Sketching: A teaching technique that encourages students to sketch out the concept behind their answer while they come up with the words to communicate it.
- Building Verbal Intelligence: Children living in poverty have a simple language structure and we must give them a complex language structure.
- How to design a Gifted Program Specifically For These Students

Very interesting topic
Kathryn – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
I would rather take this course in person. I am positive that there were conversations around the tables that would encourage me to do something different. I would also like examples of ‘what’ was being done in the areas of verbal intelligence not just talking about it.

There was good information about the “why” behind a lot the missing verbal ability, but I felt that the course was lacking in action. There was an assumption that we were aware of some of the educational concepts she was addressing.

The course was great, but real student examples of mind sketching would have been helpful. Additionally, a few examples of how to develop verbal intelligence using a book in a modeling lesson would be truly beneficial.

It was full of information. The speaker is clearly passionate in this area.

I find it fascinating that if I fail to develop verbal intelligence, I take higher education away from students.

Great course! I actually really enjoyed what she had to say, it’s just brand new info for me so it took me several reviews of a few sections but hey that’s what i like about online training.
Mary – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
Great course! Talks about the difference between fluid (non-verbal) intelligence and crystallized (verbal) intelligence, how the differences between these two are impacted by low socio-economic status and how to decrease the difference between these two for students with low socio-economic status.
