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

I thought it was very information but was very geared to elementary and I have middle school students. I think the idea is great but it is a bit too much with testing the students that about how to add those practices into the classroom.

Fast paced, lots of information, pause as needed to digest the statistics she provides.
Terry – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –
This particular course is good. It talks about the two types of intelligences and the affect one has on the other. While there is information useful in the classroom, when it gets into testing and so on, it focuses mainly on the needs of administration rather than that of a line teacher. Line teachers have no say in the type of testing done with our students. I did like the affirmation of helping students learn to speak in complete sentences, using concrete detail.
Lindsay – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This was very interesting and applicable to my classroom. I am not very knowledgeable about many of the people and terms she referenced during this course, so I learned a lot.
