Description
Do you know the effects of poverty on your classroom? Poverty impacts a student’s intelligence and achievement. This is particularly evident in verbal and nonverbal gaps and in memory. Even poverty at the earliest moments of life can have long-term effects on a child. Thankfully, there are ways that educators can address these issues and help students in poverty reach their potential. In this 3-hour course led by Dr. Joyce Juntune, a nationally renowned consultant, educators will learn about how to serve gifted students raised in poverty. Dr. Juntune draws from years of research, both her own and others professionals’, to create sound strategies for supporting these students.
After taking this course, educators will walk away knowing:
- Reasons for gaps in intelligence scores
- Strategies for building complex language
- Mind sketching strategies
- Memory building strategies
- Best practices for serving gifted students in poverty

Great information. Only drawback is that it should count for more CEU’s for the amount of materials covered!
Martine – SHARYLAND ISD (verified owner) –
Several of my students are low socio-economic, and since it is not something I have ever experienced, it has always been hard for me to relate and understand. Just the first 5 minutes of this course were an eye-opener. Thank you!

Kristin – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –
The content was excellent, but the production value was horrible. The microphone faded in and out constantly which made it difficult to hear. If you are charging people money for these classes then make them worthwhile. This is not 1970. You have lots of great AV equipment that you can use with technology to make a good presentation.
