Challenges and Opportunities: Why Poverty Matters and Why Schools Can Matter More Life with limited resources can negatively impact achievement and life success, but the good news is that schools and teachers can matter more! The latest research from neuroscience provides direction for intentional school and teacher moves that can dramatically and positively shift the trajectory for all students. Learn how to reframe the challenges faced by teachers in high-poverty schools as opportunities for revealing the often-hidden potential of every learner every day. |
Tammy Pawloski is Professor of Education and Director of the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty at Francis Marion University.
