Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Erasing the Opportunity Gap



Dr. Paul Gorski’s approach to this issue is to reframe our thinking that leads us out of the deficit approach to addressing the needs of these students and engaging his audiences in discussion about how beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors toward students from poverty can be transformed. 

Attendees will learn how to:

1. Rethink values and beliefs about students and families from poverty
2. Critically examine the practices designed to increase student achievement
3. Implement thoughtful ways to create classrooms and schools in which all students experience educational equity
