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 gist of this course is we find students who are gifted in non verbal areas, but put them in a GT program that is steeped in verbal ability.
Nicole – GAHANNA-JEFFERSON CITY (verified owner) –
I loved learning about testing and understanding what scores mean. A lot of times we see scores and deflect to the numbers that we are told to look at vs. understanding the relationships between numbers.

Very interesting! I work with a small percentage of this population but find it true that they need special attention. This course helps open a teacher’s mind to the fact that low ses kids need more in the classroom than the others.
