Session 1: The Kids Left Behind: Catching Up the Underachieving Children of Poverty
Printer-friendly versionTeaching underachieving children of poverty presents a daunting challenge for educators, schools and districts. A recent synthesis of 18 state and national studies on high-poverty/high-performing schools clearly documents that with appropriate school and classroom intervention dramatic achievement gain for these students will occur. This session will provide participants with compelling research, program and policy recommendations, and effective classroom strategies. K-12 high-achieving schools with significant populations of low SES students will be featured.
