People who live in poverty consider life in different ways than
those who have adequate basic resources. Many educators tend to see
the world through their middle-class worldview. Because of this,
they do not understand these significant and often rational
differences. They may misinterpret behavior they see and ascribe
negative connotations to how their students are reacting. Their
assumptions can affect the quality of both the teaching and the
learning that happens. Most teachers have real passion for
educating their students but their experiences limit how they
relate to the challenges some of their students face daily.
Understanding Poverty in the Classroom: * Identifies perceptual
differences * Teaches strategies to address the special needs of
children from poverty * Encourages teachers to learn about the
neighborhoods where their students live and what to look for in
those areas * Confronts myths about poverty and reinforces learning
with specific illustrations This resource is interactive with
exercises that increase the reader's learning and provides specific
tools to improve the educational process for teachers, students,
and parents.
