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

    great

  2. Steven – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    There was a great deal of very interesting information in this course that applies directly to what I have seen in my classroom. Based on what I learned, I am sure I have misjudged many of my students intellectual abilities because of language. However, after teaching ESL specific classes at the high school level, I have seen many of the things that Dr. Juntune mentioned, particularly with respect to “knowing” things but not having the language to describe them due to limited vocabulary in both their home and native languages very limited exposure to the world outside the bounds of the area around their school.
