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 course, especially after taking part one, cements the need of teachers to encourage students to organize their ideas through sketching . It is very helpful int hat I never really thought about my students who come from low SES homes as needing a boost in language and abstract thinking.

While I understand the need there was to build the foundation in the Part 1 of the training, I think that a little less of part 1 and a little more of part 2 would be better. Part two gives teachers practical strategies that can be implemented in the classroom. I’m not quite certain how I would implement this is my Advanced Placement English Language and Composition course, but I can see, based upon our student population, how it might be useful for some in my Honors English 2 classes.

Great strategies for building students’ memory. Implementing sketching daily for helps develop writing and verbal skills. Students begin to think more abstractly because they don’t put in all the details as they would a drawing.
