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

Claudia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
I think this course was great in opening our eyes as educators in how to view our students with a broader lens and take into consideration their nonverbal intelligence as incentive to build their verbal skills so that we can tap into their full potential, especially when working with low-SES and EB students.
Carla – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I thought this would be more about strategies to build verbal intelligence. Instead it was background information – a lecture on intelligence and why low SES students struggle.
