Explore class differences and 10 actions you can implement in the classroom to improve the success of low socioeconomic status students. This workshop is based on Ruby Payne’s book A Framework for Understanding Poverty, which has sold more than 1.5 million copies.

Educators who participate in this training will:

• Use concrete instructional strategies to help students from poverty
• Understand hidden rules of economic class and effects on behaviors and mindsets
• Develop stronger relationships with students to impact behavior
• Reduce discipline referrals

Topics include resources, mental models, family structure, language patterns, and more. Give new and veteran teachers tools to help students from poverty today.
