Description

Gifted students fall through the cracks for a variety of reasons, but perhaps the saddest is that we don’t always recognize their giftedness because of a narrow definition of intelligence. Students living in poverty are often the victims of this definition bias. Why? Because our very definitions of intelligence often hinge on verbal skills, which are typically a weakness in gifted students from low socioeconomic environments. Joyce Juntune, Ph.D. explains in Closing the Achievement Gap, that the intelligence is undoubtedly there, but environment and lifestyle lend themselves to a different perspective and skill set that educators must learn to recognize and hone. 

In this 6-hour course, you will learn:

  • How poverty impacts achievement
  • What intelligence looks like in and out of poverty
  • How to foster verbal skills in students with nonverbal strengths
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, e, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 2.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.1.

Dr. Juntune is a renowned consultant, trainer, professor, and lecturer with more than 45 years of experience in the field of education. She is an instructional associate professor at Texas A&M University where she teaches graduate-level courses in her expert areas of intelligence, child and adolescent development, educational psychology, giftedness, and creativity. Dr. Juntune earned her M.S. in curriculum and instruction from St. Cloud University and her Ph.D. in educational psychology from Texas A&M University.

    Great information!!! If you teach at a title 1 campus and/or have a bilingual student population, there is no doubt this is the course of study for you!

  17. Marla – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved the use of mindsketches to learn new vocabulary or visualize a scene in a book, The use of post it notes to organize and reorganize thoughts for a story. The use of a folder for students to “pick up right where they left off” is clever. This course is designed more for the elementary level and as I high school math teacher I will have to get creative on how to use modified versions some of the techniques in my classroom. Minsketching for learning the vocabulary of geometric terms is something i plan on incorporating in my lessons.
