Children who are raised in poverty or low-income households are much more likely to drop out. Gifted children raised in poverty are particularly at­ risk. But that doesn’t have to be the case. These children can all succeed. They can go to college. They can do wonderful things if someone will take the time to build their complex language skills and verbal memory.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Building Verbal Intelligence: Children living in poverty have a simple language structure and we must give them a complex language structure.
  3. How to design a Gifted Program Specifically For These Students

    I enjoyed the plan she mentioned to build verbal intelligence.

    This was much more applicable to me than the first session. I really liked the idea of using mind sketching during reading and the emphasis of having students speak in complete sentences.

    how to enhance students’ critical thinking skills

  16. Jessica – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    For me, this course was not as interesting as part 1. I am struggling to understand how this could be useful for high school students. Conceptually, I know there is probably a gap for the students, but practically I don’t know that these strategies would be appropriate.

  17. David – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I see how this could work well for younger students, but for the older kids I teach there are some applications but they are limited.

  18. Courtney – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

    Informative

    This is an excellent course.

  26. Alejandra – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    This segment of Dr. Juntune’s course had more interaction but still suffers from segmentation format–the reflection questions should be spread throughout the course, and the speaker sadly adds too many side conversations rather than main information in short segments.

  27. Diana – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    Such great information on building verbal intelligence. The strategies presented are easy to use in the classroom. Students will most certainly benefit from using them.

  28. Katherine – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

    Too much information for such a short amount of time. Should include more strategies.

    Very Helpful to get students more abstract and intelligent.
