THE POVERTY PROJECT II
The impact of life's experiences on learning
Can four hours change your life?
The Poverty Project is a NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED SIMULATION ACTIVITY which enables teachers, community members, and administrators to experience the impact life's unexpected stressors have on learning. There are many types of poverties and deficits. This program focuses on resources. Sometimes, when you least suspect it, you can change a student's life. You will walk away with a new understanding of factors affecting learning.
Why is your student always late? How come she/he seems distracted? Why is homework incomplete? And the issues discussed in this simulation are relevant to many situations, not just economic poverty. Join us. You will be glad you did.
