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

I had to re-watch is to pick up on everything she was delivering.

This course provided a lot of interesting information and explained why many of our low SES students struggle in gifted programs. There was more emphasis placed on why it is a problem rather than in-depth explanations of specific strategies teachers can use to help combat the problem. I finished the course wishing I had a better idea of how to help my students.
