A Cognitive Approach to Understanding Poverty

About the Course
This course will provide participants with an opportunity to explore how poverty affects behavior and academic performance in students. Participants will be engaged in ensuring a positive school environment that embodies respect and inclusivity. Participants will discuss the mindset of change and how accountability strengthens the SHARE model. Participants will collaboratively create a school-wide resource of strategies to encourage students to participate emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally.
Required Text:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Recognize how having a framework of poverty can help better understand students living in poverty and what can be done to ensure success.
- Identify the ‘hidden rules’ of school and access what children living in poverty need to know in order to be successful at school.
- Implement a school-wide plan for engaged learning where relationships are reaffirmed and emotional, cognitive, and behavioral participation at school is encouraged.
- Develop a school environment where a child’s risk factors do not impair his or her success, including enrichment activities for students.

This book was so interesting! I really wish I'd read it earlier in my career, but so glad I discovered it here on CoPilot! The instructor did a great job with having us discuss, yet not too much work to take away from my last few weeks of school :) Perfect balance of discussion/journal/assignments for a 1 credit class. Highly recommend!
