Description
Do you know the effects of poverty on your classroom? Poverty impacts a student’s intelligence and achievement. This is particularly evident in verbal and nonverbal gaps and in memory. Even poverty at the earliest moments of life can have long-term effects on a child. Thankfully, there are ways that educators can address these issues and help students in poverty reach their potential. In this 3-hour course led by Dr. Joyce Juntune, a nationally renowned consultant, educators will learn about how to serve gifted students raised in poverty. Dr. Juntune draws from years of research, both her own and others professionals’, to create sound strategies for supporting these students.
After taking this course, educators will walk away knowing:
- Reasons for gaps in intelligence scores
- Strategies for building complex language
- Mind sketching strategies
- Memory building strategies
- Best practices for serving gifted students in poverty
