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

Excellent course. Very eye-opening, since I see these students in my classes. Although, I teach the skill of complex language in social studies, I understand the why, and have a deeper perspective into how important it is– and how it reaches beyond being able to write a good response to a question.

This was an interesting course about how verbal and non verbal intelligence. Interesting how students learn and how abstraction is the key to understanding their intelligence. Great course to listen to .
