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

The difference between drawing and sketching was eye opening. I have used the idea before, but had not thought the differences in what I was asking the students to do.

Fantastic and fascinating AND useful. I hope to be able to use these strategies with dyslexic students and low-level readers!!!
Sherrie – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
I did enjoy this course, by Dr. Joyce Juntune, but Part II was not quite as effective in an on-line version as Part I, as much of it was active participation (sketching, discussing …).

It was a good training.

interesting
Karen – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
I got some great ideas for use in the library. I could easily use my mini-whiteboards for students to sketch about what they are reading and then talk to me and each other about it. I can look for ways to then deepen that activity so ELL’s and low-SES students can continue to build their vocabulary, which will in turn help them to be better readers. It’s a win-win!
Jan – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
Excellent Strategies
Carrie – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –
This course reiterates the importance of building verbal intelligence, and reminds us that most students in poverty don’t have the same experiences/opportunities as students who are not in poverty.
