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

The presenter clearly knew her information but it was difficult to follow her line of thinking because she moved so quickly through the information. Sometimes I wasn’t sure if she had moved on to a new element of her presentation. However, the idea was interesting. I would have liked more discussion of methods to develop verbal intelligence.

I really liked learning about building verbal intelligence, I think the course could have been a little more interactive. I liked that I could review the videos again. I liked that I could go at my own pace.

It gives educators a new perspective on how to help students from poverty backgrounds succeed in school and make it through college.

The material is helpful to a point, but the lecture sections keep cutting off mid sentence and picking up in a different part of lecture

Well worth the time.
Jodi – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
This was a great program and it really got me thinking on ways to support students with verbal intelligence. I think providing a video-exemplar or two of ways teachers build verbal intelligence would be very beneficial. It could be in part 2, and if so, disregard.
Amy – COSHOCTON CITY (verified owner) –
Great information….somewhat redundant of closing the gap for students in poverty.
Lorena – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Asewome course!!!!!
Maria – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –
I like that verbal intelligence is put out there. It’s basically exposure and that’s what most of our low ses students are missing. Even through spending so much time on the internet. Low ses students are not using the internet to grow and/or expose themselves to “what’s out there.”
Jennifer – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
Interesting.
