| Description |
Day 1 - A Framework for Understanding Poverty
provides increased knowledge on serving under-resourced students and families. Helps teachers and administrators to better engage students and parents to create more successful outcomes. Poverty, middle class, and wealth are about an abundance or lack of resources. This workshop helps individuals, businesses, students, and communities build resources for a more successful, sustainable future.
Day 2 - 8:30 - 11:30 Poverty Simulation - a powerful vehicle to address the real world obstacles to families who are working to maintain shelter and food security.
12:30 - 3:30 Research-Based Strategies - Narrowing the Achievement Gap for Under-Resourced Students
Lack of personal, social, and material resources can create specific challenges for students, as well as for their schools and communities. Educators are key: Teachers are integral to the lives of so many young people who can and will achieve success if we understand them—and understand how to guide and teach them. Research-Based Strategies, an exciting revision of the Learning Structures Workbook, helps us do all that and more.
Registration will include 2 books: A Framework for Understanding Poverty, A Cognitive Approach and Research-Based Strategies: Narrowing the Achievement Gap for Under-Resourced Students.
