While we have spent energy on finding and implementing a variety of procedures to ensure that gifted children from poverty are identified for our gifted programs, much less energy has been put into building the skills for success that will enable them to flourish in the gifted program. In this course, Dr. Juntune explores strategies to change the way we work with low-SES students.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Building Verbal Intelligence: Children living in poverty have a simple language structure and we must give them a complex language structure.
  3. How to design a Gifted Program Specifically For These Students

  1. Teresa – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner)

    SO informative!
    I had to re-watch is to pick up on everything she was delivering.

  2. Summer – Logan-Hocking Local Schools (verified owner)

    This course provided a lot of interesting information and explained why many of our low SES students struggle in gifted programs. There was more emphasis placed on why it is a problem rather than in-depth explanations of specific strategies teachers can use to help combat the problem. I finished the course wishing I had a better idea of how to help my students.

  32. Beth – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner)

    The presenter clearly knew her information but it was difficult to follow her line of thinking because she moved so quickly through the information. Sometimes I wasn’t sure if she had moved on to a new element of her presentation. However, the idea was interesting. I would have liked more discussion of methods to develop verbal intelligence.
