Participants will examine the relationship between poverty and learning. You will explore how poverty is truly defined and discover the different levels of poverty that exists in school districts we work and live in. You will develop effective ways to help students overcome the barriers to learning that result from enduring poverty. Since there is poverty in every town and district, this course is applicable for all educators.
