Poverty has a tremendous impact on how students learn, communicate, behave, and view themselves; most teachers are from middle class — with middle class values, attitudes, and expectations — and need advice and tools to better connect with students from poverty and help them succeed. This initial workshop, based on the book A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby K. Payne, Ph.D., provides an in-depth study of information and issues that will increase the participants’ knowledge and understanding of the poverty culture.
