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 would rate this course 4.95 only because the facillitator goes quite quickly through the printed information.Also, crystallized intelligence is not explained thoroughly enough in my opinion.

Very informative and helpful! Dr. Juntune knows what she is talking about. The pacing of the course is fast, but not too fast; a lot of information is given in a short time. I encourage note-taking. Also, Dr. Juntune DOES show research AND give strategies for a solution to the problem presented in this PD. I can see how my classroom is FULL of these types of students, and I now feel more empowered to move forward in teaching these students where they are.
