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

She has some good insight on the differences in verbal/nonverbal scores and how our students rate. She also has a very good point about how sometimes, teachers don’t realize that their nonverbal intelligence isn’t seen but we make snap judgments about how kids may do in the future without all the facts about them.

The course provides great insight and help in understanding the intelligence, potential, communication, and education needs of SES students. Understanding the limitations of students growing up in poverty is essential for classroom success. There are many significant facts, processes, teaching approaches, encouragement for teachers to prioritize the success of these students. It stresses the fact that they are fully able – with specified help from their teachers – to thrive at the college level.
