Teaching with Poverty in Mind

Teaching with Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids' Brains and what Schools Can Do about it | Eric Jensen

so-so

This was interesting, but I wished it had more concrete advice and focused more on elementary schools.
All #teachersoflitsy I‘m looking for great books about student engagement. Any suggestions appreciated.

CoffeeK8 I like this one a lot

For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood--and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education

CoffeeK8 I also like this one, it‘s about engaging yourself in the right way to create engagement (if you get what I mean)

Who's Doing the Work?: How to Say Less So Your Readers Can Do More

CoffeeK8 Oh also this one! I‘m blowing you your post, #sorrynotsorry

Doing Poorly on Purpose: Strategies to Reverse Underachievement and Respect Student Dignity

ErikasMindfulShelf Thanks for all the recommendations @CoffeeK8 I have the first one you mentioned but haven‘t read it yet. Have to look into the others. I‘m hoping to find some on audio as that is my preferred way of reading nonfiction. 6y

From The Chronicle of Higher Education: conceptualizing poverty as a “kind of mental tax” that drains energy and attention away from creativity, reflection, innovation, and other higher-order activities. #TeachersofLitsy

JSW Yes! Because money is so tied to basic needs like housing, food, and clothing. #maslow 6y

LibrarianRyan 100% agree. 6y

RealBooks4ever Totally agree! 6y

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards This is why I was so pleased to learn my college has emergency grants for students who find themselves in need. 6y

Readingismyescape Good luck. I find change both exciting and scary, but often well worth the effort. 6y

Our current president obviously never learned any of the emotional responses that are supposed to be taught to children by their caregivers. Poverty (the subject of this book) wasn‘t the issue there. #EmotionalKeyboard #TeachersofLitsy

GlassAsDiamonds I find it fascinating that optimism is a taught skill. 😊 6y
