This article is a wonderful resource for teaching in a high poverty school.
The article focuses on these teaching tips:
Building relationships- these students often lack long-lasting stable relationships
Understanding and controlling stress
Developing a growth mindset
Building executive function- working memory
Boosting engagement
Teaching with Poverty in Mind: How to Help At-Risk Students Succeed
That's a great article! I'm going to share it with some other teachers at my school as well. Though our percentage of low-income students is low, i still think it will be very beneficial in understanding others' backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI also teach in a low income district so this article will get passed around from school to school. I agree that it is very important to build relationships (with all students but especially low income students) because your right they don't get this at home. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteThis is very helpful. I know my kids do not have conversations with their parents and their parents do not interact with them so they do not know how to have a relationship. It is very important to show them you care and be interested in them to form those relationships.
ReplyDeleteBecca,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great resource that I will be able to share with my colleagues as well. You are great at finding quality resources! Thanks for always sharing.
Thank you for sharing this resource. One of our major goals this year is building relationships. We didn't score very well in that area on our gallup poll and we are striving to do much better. I am going to share this with my department and build those relationships.
