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

This was a good start for thinking about ways to support gifted students from poverty after they have been identified. It left me with questions, but I guess that is why there is Part 2!

It was a good course to experience. Take very detailed notes during the course as the quiz was hard. I thought I took good enough notes, but really struggled with the quiz at the end….

good
Mary – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Too long
David – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
I assume it will be in part 2, but it took a long time to get to the “how do we actually build verbal intelligence” part, and even then it was only 2 practices suggested.
Laura – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
It was informative and interesting.
Alejandra – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Course is too long and not engaging, primarily due to lack of segmenting information that causes information to get muddled. Possibly great tips but overshadowed by length and added details.
Diana – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –
What a great speaker! The strategies presented make so much sense and can be easily implemented in the classroom. Building verbal intelligence through mind sketching, building complex language, and verbal memory will help students be more successful in the verbal setting.
Rosa – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –
Great information!
Katherine – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –
