Teaching & Engaging
With Poverty in Mind
Participants will get a fabulous overview of Eric Jensen's new book, "Teaching with Poverty in Mind". Are students of poverty really different? The research says, "Yes!" But HOW are they different and what can you do about it? This powerful workshop explores both the science and the specific classroom strategies to reach students of poverty.
You will hear school success stories, learn the inside secrets and get specific school-tested ideas. You can turn your students into top achievers IF you know how and have the WILL to do it. You can succeed with all of them, and you'll learn exactly how to do it. Action plans will be designed with practical strategies.
Eric Jensen is a former teacher with a real love of learning. He grew up in San Diego and attended public schools. While his academic background is in English and human development, he has a real love of educational neuroscience. For over 20 years, he has been connecting the research with practical classroom applications.
Most importantly, he models what he has learned, so teachers can see it, hear it and experience the difference.
