Description
Why do some bright students struggle in school while others coast with ease? In this course, Dr. Joyce Juntune, Ph.D., an instructional associate professor at Texas A&M University, unpacks decades of research on intelligence — from Spearman and Cattell to Gardner and Sternberg — to help GT teachers understand what intelligence really is and how it shapes student learning. Dr. Juntune explains the big seven abilities behind intelligence, the crucial difference between fluid and crystallized intelligence, and why gifted students from generational poverty are often overlooked when only verbal scores are considered.

- The big seven abilities that make up intelligence
