Join me for this professional development session to dive into Eric Jensen’s powerful book Poor Students, Rich Teaching, which explores practical, research-based strategies for supporting students affected by poverty.
Through guided discussion, collaborative activities, and reflective exercises, participants will:
*Understand the neuroscience behind how poverty affects learning and behavior.
*Explore seven key mindsets and classroom strategies that foster academic resilience.
*Identify actionable steps to create a supportive, high-expectation classroom culture.
*Reflect on their own teaching practices and biases, and develop a personal action plan for equity-based instruction.
This session equips educators with tools to foster a growth-oriented, emotionally safe, and academically rich environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
