Poverty and Its Effects on Learning

Did you know that over 20% of American students live in poverty? Students experiencing poverty or near-poverty conditions face unique challenges (and so do the schools that serve them). While the statistics are alarming if you work with students living in poverty, there is good news. Teachers and schools all across the country are experiencing success. Have you ever wondered what they are doing differently? This session will provide you with the background, strategies, and tools you’ll need to be the next success story. As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be equipped with practical, results-oriented strategies that will help your students develop the skills to be successful in school and in life.
