Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine teachers' perceptions about students from poverty and their academic achievement using the independent variable of the schools' free or reduced lunch population. Responses to the survey were separated into two groups: those from schools with 51% or more of students receiving free or reduced lunch, and schools with 50% or less of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Teachers' perceptions were the same on 36 of 47 survey responses. While differences did exist for 11 of 47 responses, the overall rankings and opinions were similar as high importance was given to parenting techniques, student behavior, and class sizes. Responses with significant differences pertained to mentoring, class size, ability grouping, parenting, and standardized testing. Of the four issues on the survey, the achievement gap ranked highest.

Book Synopsis Understanding Poverty in the Classroom by : Beth Lindsay Templeton
Download or read book Understanding Poverty in the Classroom written by Beth Lindsay Templeton and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who live in poverty consider life in different ways than those who have adequate basic resources. Many educators tend to see the world through their middle-class worldview. Because of this, they do not understand these significant and often rational differences. They may misinterpret behavior they see and ascribe negative connotations to how their students are reacting. Their assumptions can affect the quality of both the teaching and the learning that happens. Most teachers have real passion for educating their students but their experiences limit how they relate to the challenges some of their students face daily. Understanding Poverty in the Classroom: * Identifies perceptual differences * Teaches strategies to address the special needs of children from poverty * Encourages teachers to learn about the neighborhoods where their students live and what to look for in those areas * Confronts myths about poverty and reinforces learning with specific illustrations This resource is interactive with exercises that increase the reader's learning and provides specific tools to improve the educational process for teachers, students, and parents.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study began with an assessment of what teachers in school district XYZ believe about the achievement gaps between students from low socio-economic backgrounds and their classmates from less disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances. A small sub-sample of teachers from this district received intense professional development on teaching students from poverty. Their perceptions about teaching students from poverty were examined, as well as their classroom instruction to determine if changes had occurred in their beliefs and classroom instruction practices. Survey responses were solicited from all district teachers. A small group received the professional development and the remainder of teachers did not receive the professional development. Both groups were surveyed two times. Those who received professional development were also interviewed and their classrooms were observed to see if the recommended instructional strategies were implemented. The professional development changed the participating teachers' perceptions on the need for providing staff training to properly address the needs of the schools' diverse population. The professional development (PD) changed the teachers' perceptions on holding students accountable no matter what their situation. The PD group recognized that teachers can be considered a cause of the achievement gap by having low teacher expectations and not providing the appropriate classroom instructions to meet economically disadvantaged students' needs. The PD group also recognized that they, along with their schools can provide solutions to the achievement gap.
Book Synopsis Teaching with Poverty in Mind by : Eric Jensen
Download or read book Teaching with Poverty in Mind written by Eric Jensen and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching with Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids' Brains and What Schools Can Do About It, veteran educator and brain expert Eric Jensen takes an unflinching look at how poverty hurts children, families, and communities across the United States and demonstrates how schools can improve the academic achievement and life readiness of economically disadvantaged students. Jensen argues that although chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and character. Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Teaching with Poverty in Mind reveals * What poverty is and how it affects students in school; * What drives change both at the macro level (within schools and districts) and at the micro level (inside a student's brain); * Effective strategies from those who have succeeded and ways to replicate those best practices at your own school; and * How to engage the resources necessary to make change happen. Too often, we talk about change while maintaining a culture of excuses. We can do better. Although no magic bullet can offset the grave challenges faced daily by disadvantaged children, this timely resource shines a spotlight on what matters most, providing an inspiring and practical guide for enriching the minds and lives of all your students.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined teachers' perceptions of the impact of poverty on learning to read and the practices that were utilized to successfully close the reading achievement gap with low socioeconomic students in elementary schools. One hundred nineteen teachers, kindergarten through sixth grades, participated in this study. Data were collected with an online survey and open-ended questions completed by 119 participants, as well as, interviews conducted by a research assistant with five participants. This study identified: (1) teachers' perceptions on how poverty affects learning in reading in grades K-6; (2) instructional strategies that work best to teach reading and support students from low socioeconomic backgrounds; and (3) practices, other than instructional, that are successful in improving reading performance and supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The results suggested that the participating teachers agreed that poverty affected students' achievement in reading and caused deficits in their learning starting at an early age. Furthermore, the results of the study revealed that teacher participants believed that smaller instructional groups, more resources, increased parent involvement, and parental education positively influenced low socioeconomic students' reading achievement. The study also recognized other strategies that teachers perceived helped in closing the reading achievement gap in elementary students. Finally, the findings from this research revealed that teachers recognized the causes of the achievement gap and specific efforts that could assist in shrinking the gap for students living in poverty.

Book Synopsis Ready to Teach by : Ryan Patrick Donlon
Download or read book Ready to Teach written by Ryan Patrick Donlon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing socioeconomic realities of schools, the well-documented achievement gap between socioeconomic classes, and the exodus of beginning teachers from high poverty urban schools demand a closer examination of the ways in which we prepare and support the greatest resource for influencing the success of students and schools of poverty: high quality beginning teachers. This phenomenological study explores factors that lead beginning teachers to feel ready in their ability to educate and support the students of poverty who need their help the most. Seventeen teachers in their first five years of teaching were interviewed regarding their career paths, their preparation experiences, the challenges they faced working in high poverty settings, and their own evolution as teachers within those settings. The sample included teachers from nine schools within a PK-12 system of magnet schools in the capitol region of Connecticut - all the schools exceeded the Connecticut state average for the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed via open coding. Findings were organized into three categories: preparation, teaching in high poverty settings, and professional reflections. The preparation category includes participants' perspectives on their life experiences and the value of preservice preparation experiences which added to their readiness to teach in high poverty settings. The teaching in high poverty settings category encompasses participant reflections on initial experiences working in high poverty settings as well as their own levels of preparation to teach within those settings. This category also includes participants' rationale for working in high poverty schools, challenges they faced, and strategies that have helped them be successful. Finally, the professional reflections category includes participants' ideas on how to improve professional practice within high poverty schools through changes to preservice preparation and induction programming. Ultimately, the study yielded five main recommendations for teacher preparation programs and school leaders: seek and develop teacher diversity in all its forms; design learning opportunities to mediate the specific challenges of teaching in high poverty schools; address the skill and opportunity gaps of students; develop a strength-based perspective for teachers; and foster stronger school, home, and community connections.
