### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Having taught in Title I facilities my entire career, ...
*by M***. on June 15, 2015*

Having taught in Title I facilities my entire career, I have experienced a wide-variety of success and failures in working with students of poverty. Reading Eric Jensen’s Teaching with Poverty in Mind (2009) provided me with a deeper understanding of the impact of living in poverty on the minds of our students along with the responsibilities of schools who serve these students. This research-packed text includes practical applications schools and teachers can utilize to improve academic performance for all students.In order to effectively teach students who are economically disadvantaged, teachers and administrators must understand how poverty impacts these children both academically and behaviorally. Common misconceptions are addressed by Jensen within this text: the brain is static and does not change, authoritative programs are required to manage student behavior, and students from poverty are unable to achieve the same success academically as students from higher socioeconomic levels. In contrast, Jensen emphasizes that because of neuroplasticity, students of poverty are able to overcome their backgrounds when proper supports are implemented and positive values are reinforced within the school setting.Each chapter of Teaching with Poverty in Mind (2009) begins by outlining research supporting an overarching concept, examples of schools that “make it happen”, and action steps that can be implemented within your own school. A wide-variety of research-based strategies are suggested to encourage the development of the change mindset among staff members. Personally, two of the most powerful chapters within this book targeted school-lwide and classroom-level success factors because they include explicit elements necessary to ensure high-quality learning experiences for all students.While reading this text, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own experiences in working with students of poverty. I now have a stronger understanding as to how my own actions have supported and/or hindered the development of my students. Eric Jensen’s Teaching with Poverty in Mind (2009) has definitely altered how I will interact with students and families from lower socioeconomic levels in the future.
