Poverty Sensitive Strategies

Description: Research indicates that school workers who engage in professional development to discuss and examine research based instructional strategies are better equipped to support high expectations and convey belief in the ability of learners who are impacted by the limitations and challenges that their family faces. The number of students from poverty is increasing in our schools and it is important to understand poverty’s impact on educational success and use strategies to overcome the impact of poverty on the brain and learning. In this training participants will apply Brain Science, study actionable strategies, and build on MTSS Practices to support trauma and poverty informed teaching.
