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 is a fantastic look at intelligence in which I believe hits home in many different demographics but certainly helps to understanding the difficulty of properly identifying and placing those with gifted learners.
Amber – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
It was very confusing and not easy to follow along with
Cynthia – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
I believe this course should be required for all teachers of gifted students, including teachers of English Learners. I also believe that administrators and district officials should be required to take this course as well, so that they understand the importance of the need to build verbal intelligence in our students.

There are 4 quiz questions, each question multi-select answers. The first questions require 3 answers. I only missed one of the three choices on question #1 and I still got a 75% overall. I think the scoring should give partial credit for multi-select questions and answer choices. Since all of the questions are multi-select, I would end up with a 92%. Instead I am penalized for answering anything correctly on question number #1 and on the overall quiz grade.
