Participants get a fabulous overview of Eric Jensen’s new book, Teaching with the Poverty in Mind.  Are students of poverty really different? The research says, “Yes!” But, HOW are they different and what can you do about it? This powerful workshop explores both the science and the specific classroom strategies to reach students of poverty.  

You will hear school success stories, learn the inside secrets and get specific school-tested ideas. You can turn your students into top achievers IF you know how and have the WILL to do it. You can succeed with all of them, and you’ll learn exactly how to do it. Action plans will be designed with practical strategies.
