This two-book set provides practical insights into the effects of
poverty on learning and what strategies teachers can use to better
engage students in the face of these difficulties. In Teaching with
Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids' Brains and What
Schools Can Do About It, veteran educator and brain expert Eric
Jensen takes an unflinching look at how poverty hurts children,
families, and communities across the United States and demonstrates
how schools can improve the academic achievement and life readiness
of economically disadvantaged students. Jensen argues that although
chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to
the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means
that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and
academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse
environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive
effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring
relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and
character. In Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind: Practical
Strategies for Raising Achievement, Jensen digs deeper into
engagement as the key factor in the academic success of
economically disadvantaged students. Drawing from research,
experience, and real school success stories, this book reveals
smart, purposeful engagement strategies that all teachers can use
to expand students' cognitive capacity, increase motivation and
effort, and build deep, enduring understanding of content. Too many
of our most vulnerable students are tuning out and dropping out
because of our failure to engage them. This timely resource will
help you take immediate action to revitalize and enrich your
practice so that all your students may thrive in school and beyond.
