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

Very helpful.
Paige – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –
Focus is on younger children, but still applicable in my high school teaching, especially with ESL students.
Delise – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –
The course was very informative with regards to detailing the learning capabilities of the SES learner.

A lot of information in a short amount of time. It was different than I expected. I thought it would be more about how to increase verbal intelligence in the low SES student rather than definitions and learning about what verbal intelligence is itself. I guess that is why this is a two – part course! I will need to enroll in the second part! 🙂
Marcia – HUDSON ISD (verified owner) –
I think this module should be mandatory for any teacher in a Title I school.
Maria – LA FERIA ISD (verified owner) –

Optics. It was difficult to listen to a person talking about SES students wearing pearls.
Krisa – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
I think the course had some great information but some of the videos cut off so it cut of the end of her thought process.
