While we have spent energy on finding and implementing a variety of procedures to ensure that gifted children from poverty are identified for our gifted programs, much less energy has been put into building the skills for success that will enable them to flourish in the gifted program. In this course, Dr. Juntune explores strategies to change the way we work with low-SES students.

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

    It was great.

  6. Amber – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I think any training focusing on students in poverty should be taught by someone who has come from that background. This training very clearly ignored major systemic issues regarding race and poverty. We need to be changing the way we identify gifted students first.

  7. Martha – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    This outlines some crucial factors to keep in mind when evaluating students’ intellectual capabilities.
