About this title

Synopsis

Tackling a growing challenge in today’s schools, experienced educators Lineburg and Gearheart present an honest picture of how poverty affects students, families, and the school community at large. They offer a host of practical applications that can be used in every school district in America to meet those challenges head-on!

Written for preK–12 teachers, leaders, and staff, Educating Students in Poverty provides essential strategies to help socioeconomically disadvantaged students achieve academic and lifelong success. Backed up with firsthand experiences and relevant research, these proactive instructional and administrative approaches cover a variety of topics, including:

• Advocating for underprivileged students
• Improving school climate and culture
• Engaging and communicating with families
• Instructional techniques and discipline issues
• Student health and safety

This book is a must-have resource for any educator whose goal is to maximize the learning potential of every student.
