Overview

Poverty is a struggle for many families – and thus, becomes a challenge for schools and communities. With over 47 million people living in poverty in the U.S. alone, it is more than just an economic and social problem. As educators, it’s important to learn about the impact that poverty can have on a child’s learning abilities. This course will help you learn about the impacts of poverty, and how to teach responsively to the needs of these students.

Helpful series in bringing renewed understanding of the many causes of poverty, as well as the devastating and distracting effects that poverty has on our students, who through no fault of their own, find themselves in those situations. Reminds me of why I initially became a teacher, and to be ever mindful of my response to distractions, unwanted behaviors, and lack of effort/low work production from some of my students. Thank you.
